Issue Description

Vim isn't recognizing the macOS-specific config as a Ghostty configuration file

Expected Behavior

The macOS-specific config is recognized as a Ghostty configuration file in Vim.

Actual Behavior

ftdetect/ghostty is missing some necessary path definitions

I think we should modify the code as follows so that Vim recognizes $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/com.mitchellh.ghostty/config as a Ghostty configuration file

au BufRead,BufNewFile */ghostty/config,*/ghostty/themes/*,*/*.ghostty/config setf ghostty

Reproduction Steps

Set the $EDITOR environment variable to vim or nvim in the macOS shell, then run ghostty +edit-config.

I acknowledge that:

• I have reviewed the FAQ and confirm that my issue is NOT among them.
• I have searched the Ghostty repository (both open and closed Discussions and Issues) and confirm this is not a duplicate of an existing issue or discussion.
• I have checked the "Preview" tab on all text fields to ensure that everything looks right, and have wrapped all configuration and code in code blocks with a group of three backticks (```) on separate lines.
