📄 Description

This PR, accompanied by https://github.com/JakeStanger/system-tray/pull/2 includes a very long-overdue set of fixes for the tray module.

Effectively:

A proper (mostly, I think) spec-compliant host has been ported from eww by @ToxicMushroom which means Ironbar plays a lot nicer with other trays now.
The eww code and some additional fixes mean that Ironbar is more tolerant to the many non-spec complaint programs out there. Although it's not perfect, this means:
- Icons should be a lot less likely to not show.
- Icons should be a lot less likely to duplicate.
Tray icons now correctly receive updates, which means you'll see for example nm-applet animate when connecting.
Menu separators now show.
Menu items will now show their icons (check out VLC!).
Any funny situations should be less likely to cause the whole thing to crash.

To the best of my knowledge, from my own testing I believe that means the below can be closed. Any issues let me know & we can re-open.

Fixes #632
Fixes #640
Fixes #645
Fixes #647
Fixes #672
Fixes #714
Fixes #751

Phew.
