Description
Adding Progressbar on taskbar to keep user informed on state of running processes like installing, running tweaks, using MicroWin .... Polished how and where the assets in winutil are used/saved (at the time logo as png format, logo as ico format, checkmark as png)

When the progress has finished and ran without issues, it will show a check on the taskbar until you "activate" (focus) winutil or start another process.
When the progress has finished and had an error, it will show a warning on the taskbar until you "activate" (focus) winutil or start another
Testing
- tested everything listed in Features, and everything worked.
- When testing you may think that the script is generating errors, which is not the case (on my end), usually it is an error that is also there with the main branch, but goes unnoticed. This will help detecting bugs.
Features
Support for progress bar;
- Install & Upgradeapps
- uninstall apps
- get installed
- run tweaks
- undo tweaks
- install features
- get microwin iso
- run microwin process
You can now modify the overlay icon using the function.
You can set the description, which is currently not in use.
- If only one app/tweak/feature is selected, it will do an Indeterminatable process state like the video stated before, if multiple are checked it will check & update the process.
- Get Installed apps and the entire microwin section are only in Indeterminatable process state due to maintainability, ease of use and more reasons.
- Upgrade all is currently not supported due to it being impossible to track because the way it is currently updating the applications, after a rework I'll add this feature to the upgeade all process

@MyDrift-user love the idea of putting it in the tray as the GUI can be hard to update while the console is doing the tweaks. Updating the icon tray would be more responsive and a brilliant idea.
