[PATCH v2 5/5] scalar: update technical doc roadmap with FSMonitor support

In-Reply-To
<pull.1324.v2.git.1660694290.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

Update the Scalar roadmap to reflect completion of enabling the built-in FSMonitor in Scalar.

Note that implementation of 'scalar help' was moved to the final set of changes to move Scalar out of 'contrib/'. This is due to a dependency on changes to 'git help', as all changes to the main Git tree *exclusively* implemented to support Scalar are part of that series.
