Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/1176

Describe the bug
Only some icons are displayed

To reproduce

Run current latest ironbar gtk-4 (I think its always force pushed so referencing a commit seems unhelpful here) cargo run
Have a tray module in your cfg
Run copyq, seafile or fcitx5.

Expected behavior
ironbar to be able to show the same icons as other tray impls (waybar below):

System information:

Distro: Arch Linux
Compositor: Niri
Ironbar version: refactor/gtk-4

Is this a regression from GTK3? Also which icon theme are you using?

Fixed.

The tray protocol sends empty icon names because of course it does, and GTK4 resolves though because of course it does. Filtered those out so it correctly loads the provided pixbuf. Also included a fix that means if multiple resolutions are provided, it should pick the correct one.
