What does this PR do?

Scales the tray icon to 24x24 with LANCZOS resampling on Linux before creating the QIcon, while leaving behavior on other platforms unchanged.

This intentionally keeps the fix narrowly scoped to icon rendering and does not change the click-to-open-menu behavior.

Checklists

  • Tests have been run locally and passed (app/desktop/test_desktop.py: 20 tests; Ruff)
  • Two unit tests were added covering Linux scaling and unchanged Windows behavior
  • No work was done in /lib

Part of Kiln-AI#528: taskbar.png is sized for macOS/Windows (88x88), which
renders poorly in Linux system trays that typically expect ~22-24px
icons. Scale down on Linux with LANCZOS resampling before handing the
image to pystray.

Deliberately does not touch the click-to-open-menu half of Kiln-AI#528: an
earlier community PR (Kiln-AI#1063) that set default=True on Linux was found
to be unsafe on the AppIndicator backend (pystray's docs/behavior mean
default has no effect there, and AppIndicator already owns left-click
to open the menu by design) and was closed unmerged, untested on real
Linux hardware. This change is scoped to the uncontroversial half and
verified only via unit tests (no Linux GUI available in this sandbox
either) - visual confirmation on a real Linux desktop is still needed
before wider claims about the click behavior.

Explanation

Issue #528 has two coding objectives. The PR implements the icon-rendering objective in run_tray: Linux uses resize((24, 24), Image.Resampling.LANCZOS), and tests verify Linux scaling and unchanged Windows behavior. The PR does not implement the second objective. make_open_studio_default remains enabled only for Windows, so Linux click-to-open-menu behavior remains unchanged.
