tri 8425ceb709 feat(tray-icons): shrink and recolor the NetBird tray icons

NetBird sends its tray icon as a pixmap, so an icon theme can't
replace it. patch.py rewrites the 48x48 PNGs embedded in netbird-ui in
place: the glyph is scaled to 80% to get Breeze's padding and the
white variants take the panel text color (#dedede). A pacman hook
re-patches the binary after every netbird-ui upgrade, and restore.sh
puts the original back.

Tray icons that match Breeze

stow -d kde -t "$HOME" tray-icons

Some icons need one more step after stowing; see below.

Ngó Sen (fcitx5-ngosen)

Replaces Ngó Sen's monochrome tray icons with a V/E inside a rounded frame.

sudo ~/.local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/install.sh
~/.local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/restart-fcitx5.sh
systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell

Ngó Sen points the tray at /usr/share/icons/hicolor, but Plasma looks the icon up by name in the breeze/breeze-dark themes under /usr/share and ignores ~/.local/share/icons, so the system files have to be replaced.
install.sh copies the icons and apply.sh to /usr/local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/, installs the pacman hook /etc/pacman.d/hooks/ngosen-breeze-icons.hook to re-apply them after every package upgrade, and sets UseLotusIcons=False and IconTheme=Dark in ~/.config/fcitx5/conf/ngosen.conf.
The original icons are kept in /usr/local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/orig/; sudo ~/.local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/restore.sh puts them back and removes the hook.
On KDE Wayland don't start fcitx5 with fcitx5 -d; use restart-fcitx5.sh so KWin launches it.

NetBird (netbird-ui)

Scales NetBird's tray icons down to 80% so they get the padding of Breeze status icons, and draws the white ones in the panel's text color (#dedede) instead of pure white.

sudo ~/.local/share/netbird-breeze-icons/install.sh
pkill -x netbird-ui; setsid -f netbird-ui --daemon-addr unix:///var/run/netbird/main.sock >/dev/null 2>&1

NetBird sends the tray icon as raw pixels, not an icon name, so an icon theme can't replace it. patch.py rewrites the 48x48 PNGs embedded in /usr/bin/netbird-ui in place instead; each new PNG fits in the bytes of the old one.
install.sh copies patch.py and apply.sh to /usr/local/share/netbird-breeze-icons/ and installs the pacman hook /etc/pacman.d/hooks/netbird-breeze-icons.hook to re-patch the binary after every netbird-ui/netbird-ui-bin upgrade.
The original binary is kept in /usr/local/share/netbird-breeze-icons/orig/; sudo ~/.local/share/netbird-breeze-icons/restore.sh puts it back and removes the hook.

qBittorrent

qbittorrent-tray-mono.svg is qBittorrent's monochrome tray icon scaled down to 78%, so it has the same padding as Breeze status icons instead of filling the whole tray slot.

qBittorrent 5.x only looks the tray icon up in the icon theme when "Use icons from system theme" is on, so also set (qBittorrent closed, or via Tools > Options > Behavior):

# ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf
[Appearance]
TrayIconStyle=Monochrome

[Preferences]
Advanced\useSystemIconTheme=true

qBittorrent.conf itself isn't stowed: qBittorrent rewrites it on exit.
