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.

It seems that there's no reliable way to retreive the `GlassApplication` instance outside of the `_runLoop()` method where it is created. I've decided to split the method into `_initDelegate()` and `_runLoop()`, and store the app delegate reference in the `MacApplication` class on the Java side. Then the reference can be passed down into the native toolkit for methods that require it (like `_getPlatformPreferences()`).
