Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/184

Describe the bug
focused modules show_icon set to false leaves an empty GtkImage, resulting in awkward spacing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Basically as above, set show_icon to false for a focused module, observe an extra GtkImage (put a border on the widget, or look at the debug inspector)

Expected behavior
It can be worked around with

#bar #center .icon {
    margin-right: -25px;
}

or similar, but I think removing the image if that's set would be optimal, as this might not work outside of my usecase.

System information:
Arch, ironbar-git just re-built

Thought this duplicated #169 but it doesn't, hence the mess above. Cheers for logging.
