Refactor the system_tray package to use a platform interface `SystemTrayPlatform`. Implement `LinuxSystemTray` using `dart_libayatana_appindicator` (pure Dart) for tray and menu operations. Maintain `MethodChannelSystemTray` for Windows and macOS. Refactor `linux/` C++ plugin to remove tray/menu logic but keep `AppWindow` logic (which still relies on C++/GTK). Add `dbus` dependency. Update `pubspec.yaml` SDK constraint to support Dart 3. Fix Linux menu item image support by setting `icon-name` property. Delete unused C++ files in `linux/`.

I created this port of libayatana to dart to resolve this issue: #79
However I discovered it has a GPL license so I don't think it can be used: #78
See #81 for something better but not exactly the same.
Has not been rigorously tested.
If anyone would like to help with that. Or simply just use it try
