📄 Description

make waitForTray() report a proper status - the return value was not
used until now anyway (it would always return true)
depend on the system tray availability for auto hide

On my system (Fedora 29 with Pantheon Desktop), on a clean install the GUI
would auto hide itself on startup, but due to no system tray being
available I could never make the GUI appear again.

This change disallows auto hide if the system tray is not available.
Users who don't want the GUI can just start barriers/barrierc instead of
the main barrier executable, so this should not break existing workflows.
