fix(startup): start the proxy watcher from the .dpr, before the form exists

Decisive observation: the taskbar button is already up before FormCreate is
entered. Everything I had tried lived inside the form, so all of it ran after
the button was drawn — the watcher included, which is why moving it around
never helped.

StartTrayProxyHider is now exported from UMainForm and called from the .dpr
right after Application.Initialize, before CreateForm. It polls every 5 ms and
hides our TFMAppClass proxy unconditionally (the button can be up before
WS_VISIBLE reads as set, which the previous IsWindowVisible check would have
skipped), stopping as soon as the tray startup completes so a user restoring
from the tray is never fought.

Raw Win32 only — FindWindowEx + ShowWindow, no FMX object touched at that
point, which is what made the earlier .dpr attempt crash.
