Add new script under Privacy cleanup category that removes the redundant
"Drives" group from File Explorer navigation pane. In Windows 11, drives
often appear duplicated - once under "This PC" and again under a separate
"Drives" section.

This change improves UI cleanliness by hiding the duplicate group while
keeping all drives fully accessible from "This PC". The script includes
proper revert functionality and follows the project's pattern using
RunPowerShell function with inline code.

Implementation uses registry path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\
DelegateFolders\{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}
