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.

I think the icon distortion observed on Win10 and 11 might be due to race condition between update triggered by WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING and the re-addition of tray icons when taskbar is reloaded (occurs when DPI changes)
Whenever DPI changes, the taskbar is reloaded and all the existing tray icons are re-added by `WmTaskbarCreated()` in `awt_TrayIcon.cpp`. Here is the link to the relevant doc: [Taskbar creation and reload](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/taskbar#taskbar-creation-notification)
**The reason for distortion:**
When update to tray icons (creating new scaled icon and deleting the old one) is called on `WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING`, it might create race condition - updating the tray icon and deleting the previous ones while the WmTaskbarCreated is trying to re-add the icons at the same time.
To overcome the race condition, I have removed the call to **UpdateTrayIconHandler()** on WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING and added it when taskbar gets reloaded and before `WmTaskbarCreated` is called.
When tested on Win10, it works as well.
@aivanov-jdk Can you please test on Win10 & 11 with the new fix and let me know if it works?
