Change tray behavior

I have multiple virtual desktops and sometimes Elisa lives on another virtual desktop and I have to play "hunt the window". Also, having the tray icon only visible when the main window is just unnecessary. It doesn't help in any way.

I think as-is, the tray icon is basically useless if you use virtual desktops.

So please apply this patch that

1. Makes the tray icon always visible
2. Clicking on the tray icon always brings the window to the front (rather than just doing nothing if it's on another virtual desktop)

Thanks for the patch! it looks sane to me. We use GitLab for code submissions. Could I ask you to submit that at https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/elisa/-/merge_requests

Thanks again!
