fix(icons): use a tight-crop source for Windows/Linux to unshrink the app icon (#816)

Closes #813.

#803 enlarged public/icon.svg's squircle to ~88% of the canvas so the
macOS dock icon would match third-party apps that don't leave Apple's
HIG grid margin. That fix is right for macOS — the dock already
rounds / shadows its own icons and the grid margin lines Netcatty up
with neighbors. But every non-mac launcher (Windows taskbar, Start
menu, desktop shortcuts, KDE / GNOME launchers, AppImage integrations)
renders icons full-bleed into a fixed-size slot, so that ~12% padding
shows up as visible empty space around the squircle — the reporter's
"taskbar icon looks smaller and blurrier than other apps".

Split the icon sources by platform:

- public/icon.svg / public/icon.png — unchanged, keeps the #803 88%
  fill. mac.icon (implicit via top-level) still uses it.
- public/icon-win.svg — new source with viewBox="100 100 824 824"
  (tight-cropped to the squircle) and the faint white outline stroke
  disabled. Rendered at 1024×1024 into public/icon-win.png.
- electron-builder.config.cjs wires win.icon and linux.icon to the
  new tight-crop source. Top-level icon: stays the padded version so
  the mac path is unchanged.

electron-builder generates a multi-size .ico from a ≥256px PNG on
Windows and scales PNG variants for Linux, so a single
1024×1024 source covers both platforms without new build steps.

+- Treat `electron/cli/*`, `netcatty-tool-cli`, the CLI discovery file, and the local TCP bridge as internal Netcatty integration surfaces unless a task explicitly says otherwise.
+- Do not review those surfaces as public APIs by default, and do not assume they must support third-party callers, manual launches, or non-Netcatty agents.
+- On supported first-party paths, assume Netcatty's own launcher provides required integration environment such as `NETCATTY_TOOL_CLI_DISCOVERY_FILE`.
