fix(tray): advertise IconName only when the theme resolves it; 0.1.2

StatusNotifier hosts prefer IconName over IconPixmap, so a run without
the hicolor icons installed (a source build, the AppImage) rendered
GNOME's "..." missing-icon placeholder in the top bar even though
fallback pixmaps were shipped. The item now advertises the reverse-DNS
name only when the theme lookup succeeds, and IconPixmap carries the
brand mark pre-rasterised at the two published sizes and compiled into
dish_core, replacing both the hand-drawn stand-in glyph and the
runtime QIcon rasterisation (whose device-pixel-ratio scaling shipped
44px frames for the 22px slot). The tooltip carries the same icon
fields.

Ships as 0.1.2 (CMakeLists, changelog, metainfo entry). Follow-up: tag
0.1.2 on the merge commit.

+- The tray item no longer advertises the `com.tinkernorth.Dish` icon name when
+  the icon theme cannot resolve it. StatusNotifier hosts prefer `IconName` over
+  `IconPixmap`, so a run without the hicolor icons installed (a source build,
+  the AppImage) rendered GNOME's "..." missing-icon placeholder in the top bar
+  even though pixmaps were shipped. The name is now advertised only when the
+  theme lookup succeeds, `IconPixmap` carries the brand mark pre-rasterised at
+  22 and 48 px and compiled into the client (replacing the hand-drawn
+  stand-in glyph), and the tooltip carries the same icon fields.
