A test case has been added which adds a MRI icon to system tray, to observe the icon scaling when DPI is changed. Since the scale cannot be programmatically changed (for dynamic on-the-fly scale changes), I have used a manual test case to test this scenario.

@mrserb I wanted to add few more details about various window messages received during DPI changes. The order in which messages are received-
1. WM_DPICHANGED - if update is triggered at this point, the tray icons get distorted
2. WM_POSCHANGING - if update is triggered at this point, tray icons are rendered without any distortion.
3. WM_POSCHANGED - message received when tray icon is removed or exited.
Kevin (@kevinrushforth) mentioned the usage of `WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING` in JavaFX. Adding him to this PR conversation for suggestions.
