File access: remove mention of SMB (#32913)

Browse Source 
* File access: remove mention of SMB

- to make it less technical and easier to understand for less technical users
- users with more knowledge about communication protocols and file systems can still see that the add-on is using the SMB protocol in the address prefix in the examples

* Update source/_includes/common-tasks/file_access.md

Co-authored-by: Joakim Sørensen <joasoe@gmail.com>

* Rename Nautilus to Files to use up-to-date term
