GUI: hide-to-tray on X button; tray persists until explicit Exit

The minimize-to-tray behavior already worked, but clicking the X button
killed the GUI process and took the tray with it. That made "tray when
the GUI window is closed" a UX dead end - the only way to get the tray
was to leave the window minimized.

Now:
  - X button / Alt+F4 -> hide window, tray stays alive
  - Tray double-click -> reopens window
  - File -> Exit (or tray's Exit menu) -> truly quits the process

Wired by adding a RealExitRequested event on MainViewModel that the
window subscribes to (so File -> Exit sets the ExitForReal flag before
calling Shutdown), and a parallel onExit callback on TrayIcon for the
tray menu's Exit item. The Closing handler checks ExitForReal: if
false (X / Alt+F4) it cancels the close and hides; if true, it disposes
the tray and lets the close proceed.

Auto-start at login is still TBD - if you want the tray to be there
without manually launching the GUI after a reboot, that's a separate
Task Scheduler entry. Skipping for now.
