#1759: Simplify system tray Icon context menu

There seem to be many unnecessary items on the system tray context menu.
This menu should be reserved for functions that need to be don often or
quickly.
The current menu contains the following in order.
Show Buddy List
Unread Messages
----------------
New Message
Change Status
----------------
Accounts
Plugins
Plugins Preferences
----------------
Mute Sounds
Blink on new message
----------------
Quit
I propose the following changes.
Show Buddy List
Remove: you can currently show and hide the buddy list by double clicking
on the try icon it self, it is redundant to have it here under a menu.
Accounts
Plugins
Plugins Preferences
Remove or Change: these are maintenance features that can all be accessed
from the Buddy list. I don't believe these items are things a user needs
to change on a daily basis. Instead of removing them alternatively the 3
items could be turned into a Settings sub menu to make the list smaller.
New Message...
Change Status
Change: Move these items down near the bottom of the list. Since this menu
is accessed after clicking on a tray icon the users mouse will always
start at the bottom, therefore the most common tasks should be near the
bottom.
Blink on new Message.
Remove: I don't think this really should have its own menu item here,
maybe it would be better as a setting on the Preferences screens.
