New extension: System tray manager

[Daveee19]

Description

Send your app to the system tray when initializing the icon inside your project. This can be useful for things like:

• Creating a launcher that has to do processes in the background.
• Creating a tray icon for your app to replace the big icon on the taskbar when minimized, to simulate experiences like "desktop pets".
• Literally anything you ever dreamed of creating a tray icon for.

It currently supports a "Show" label with customizable text, a "Quit" label with customizable text, and a fully custom third label, used for passing your own string into a scene variable called "TrayAction". Then, use that variable to trigger any events in your project.

Here's a demonstration in an exported demo:
