feat: add an option to minimize the window to the system tray

+- Minimize to the system tray: with the new option in Settings (also in the Console interface, under System), minimizing the window takes Console Mode off the taskbar and leaves just its icon in the hidden icons; one click on the icon opens it again. Off by default. (#150)

+- [ ] Ajustes → "Minimizar para a bandeja" vem desligado; minimizar deixa a janela na barra de tarefas, como antes.
+- [ ] Ligado: minimizar (botão da barra de título, Win+Down ou clique no ícone da barra de tarefas) tira o app da barra de tarefas e do Alt+Tab; o ícone continua nos ícones ocultos.
+- [ ] Clique no ícone da bandeja (ou "Mostrar janela" no menu dele) traz a janela de volta, no mesmo tamanho e posição, com foco.
+- [ ] Com a janela maximizada antes de minimizar, ela volta maximizada.
+- [ ] Interface Console → Sistema: a linha "Minimizar para a bandeja" alterna Ligado/Desligado e o modo PC mostra o mesmo valor; o valor fica salvo ao reabrir o app.
+- [ ] Com a sessão ativa e a opção ligada, minimizar e reabrir pela bandeja continua funcionando; o atalho do controle para abrir o app também traz a janela de volta.
+- [ ] Fechar no X (sem sessão ativa) continua fechando o app, com a opção ligada ou desligada.
