The `shopify app scaffold extension` command was a hidden alias for `shopify app generate extension`, deprecated long ago. The file was already unregistered from the CLI command map (`pnpm shopify app:scaffold:extension` returns 'command not found'), so this change just deletes the orphaned source.

The
shopify app scaffold extensioncommand was a hidden alias forshopify app generate extensiondeprecated long ago (it printed a "scaffold has been deprecated in favor of generate" warning when used).

This PR removes the orphan.Part of the deprecated-flag-removal stack: #7524 ← this PR → #7526.
