ref(home/matrix): replace element by fractal

fractal(-next) is a client for matrix. It's GTK4 native and uses rust.
While not much nicer looking than element, it's not an electron app,
which I prefer (electron is slow, and element would freeze/crash from
time to time).

I renamed the module from element to matrix-client, in case I switch to
something else in the future (or if there are additional
configurations).
