[bisq-network/bisq] UI / Performance: Remove dependencies on AWT (system tray icon) (#4940)

[cd2357]

As per https://stackoverflow.com/a/11121207 having AWT dependencies in a JavaFX application can lead to more CPU/RAM usage than necessary, because two separate graphics stacks are loaded and active at the same time.

>From what I can tell, Bisq mainly uses AWT for the system tray icon.

If that's the case, then with AWT we have:

* benefits: ability to show Bisq in the system tray
* drawbacks: a separate graphics stack (older, superseded by JavaFX) loaded in Java, with possible impact on RAM and CPU usage

To me, it seems the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

Therefore, I suggest to remove the AWT dependencies from Bisq (and with that, the system tray icon).
