On my Ubuntu 24 system, the GIO `network-changed` signal is not sent when I only toggle the "metered connection" flag in network settings (and there's no signal specifically for low-data mode). The new value is only picked up when the connection changes by coming offline or going online.

This PR also includes a small refactor of the GTK and macOS `PlatformSupport` classes.

The previous implementations had some parts of the change notification mechanism implemented outside of `PlatformSupport` in their respective `GlassApplication` class. The refactor moves this into `PlatformSupport`, which centralizes all aspects related to platform preference change detection.
