System tray icons should change depending on status and shouldn't share #4763

Issue Details

Currently, the paused AdGuard logo shows when protection is disabled or paused. It should only show the paused symbol if a user paused the program via AdGuard assistant.

Proposed solution

By changing each status to have its own icon instead of sharing, a user will clearly know whether AdGuard is paused (via an action they'd take using AdGuard Assistant) OR if AdGuard is disabled (either because a glitch or filtering just didn't turn on).

Here is my rough draft solution, icons via icons8:

Enabled Disabled
enable disable
Paused To Be Updated
paused update

Alternative solution

No response

To add to this, when AdGuard is disabled manually, via the user, AdGuard's window doesn't say “AdGuard is paused” with the paused system tray icon. It says “AdGuard is disabled” with the paused system tray icon.

By following the suggested feature request, not only does this make it clear the status of the AdGuard program, it also brings consistency.

In the version 7.14, the icons in the tray have been updated. https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-v7-14-for-windows.html

Unfortunately, the icon for AdGuard disabled and paused share the same icon, which is somewhat confusing. When disabled, it should show a red shield icon or something else that pops out to the eye instead of sharing the gray pause shield icon.
