PyInstaller bundles data files into sys._MEIPASS, not the executable directory.
- Add get_resource_path() helper in main.py and main_window.py
- Use _MEIPASS for bundled resources (icon, web files)
- Keep app_dir pointing to executable directory for user data (macros.json)
This fixes the missing icon in taskbar and system tray on Windows builds.

- Import QStyle from PySide6.QtWidgets
- Use QStyle.StandardPixmap.SP_ComputerIcon instead of self.style().SP_ComputerIcon
- Use QSystemTrayIcon.ActivationReason.DoubleClick instead of QSystemTrayIcon.DoubleClick
PySide6 requires fully qualified enum paths unlike PyQt5.
