Open the folder of dated service logs from the tray

firewall-tray.exe shows a tray icon: whether the service is screening,
paused or not running, with Pause/Resume and Open log. The MSI
starts it at every sign-in and closes it before replacing or removing it.

The icon is the Strix logo, white on a dark taskbar and black on a light
one like the macOS template image, and dimmed when not screening.
tray.png is assets/logo-transparent.png scaled and padded to 32x32:
sips -Z 32 logo-transparent.png --out a.png && sips -p 32 32 a.png --out tray.png
