• Tray icon is displayed when sdwdate-gui is started manually, but not displayed when started via /etc/xdg/autostart/sdwdate-gui.desktop

TrayIcon bugreports:

• https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-31762 -- QSystemTrayIcon creates an icon in the wrong place.
• https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-43859 -- QSystemTrayicon doesn't show in MATE desktop

Notices:

• gpg signing name is taken from debian/changelog, new build record should be added for that
• sudoers and app refers to systemctl, so it cannot be used on the old distros
