fix(windows): pre-multiply alpha when setting menu item icons to fix black background

[HarshalPatel1972]

Fixes #267

Problem

Menu item icons render with a black background on Windows 11 when the
icon has transparent pixels. The tray icon itself renders correctly,
and disabled menu items also render correctly — only enabled menu items
are affected.

The root cause is that Windows GDI expects pre-multiplied alpha for
HBITMAP objects used in menus. The previous code used
CreateCompatibleBitmap which doesn't handle alpha, causing transparent
pixels to render as black.

Fix

Replaced CreateCompatibleBitmap with CreateDIBSection and added
alpha pre-multiplication for each pixel before the bitmap is passed
to SetMenuItemInfo:

• R = R * A / 255
• G = G * A / 255
• B = B * A / 255

This matches the format Windows expects for alpha-blended menu bitmaps.

Tested on

Windows 11 23H2

Pull request overview

Fixes Windows 11 menu item icons rendering with a black background by generating a 32-bit DIB-backed bitmap (alpha-capable) and pre-multiplying pixel RGB values by alpha before assigning the bitmap to menu items.

Changes:

• Replaced CreateCompatibleBitmap with CreateDIBSection for menu item icon bitmaps (preserves alpha).
• Added per-pixel alpha pre-multiplication on the DIB’s backing buffer prior to returning the HBITMAP.
