<AWT Dev> [10] Review Request: 8187639 TrayIcon is not properly supported on macOS in multi-screen environment

[Sergey Bylokhov]

This is one of the task of awt to provide a native appearance, the 
FileDialog is one of the examples.
The current fix provide the same functionality like the old code, it 
looks is native, it works in a multi-screen environment. I think that we 
should implement the same fix for linux/windows as well at some point.
