Restore missing "Quick access" menu item in tray icon context menu

[Copilot]

Summary

Restores the "Quick access" menu item that was accidentally removed from the PowerToys tray icon context menu.

Issue

Fixes #[issue_number]

The "Quick access" menu item was missing from the tray icon's right-click context menu, preventing users from accessing this feature via the tray menu.

Expected menu:

Actual menu (before this fix):

Changes

• Added the missing MENUITEM "Quick access\tLeft-click", ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND entry as the first menu item in the ID_TRAY_MENU definition in src/runner/runner.base.rc

Details

The menu item was accidentally removed in commit f5797a0. This PR restores it to its correct position as the first item in the tray menu.

All supporting code was already in place:

• The resource ID ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND (40006) is defined in resource.base.h
• The resource string QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_TEXT is defined in Resources.resx
• The menu command handler in tray_icon.cpp opens the Quick Access flyout window
• The localization code updates the menu text at runtime

Testing

• ✅ Verified the menu item syntax is correct and matches existing patterns
• ✅ Confirmed all supporting resource IDs and handler code exist
• ✅ CI build verification pending

After this fix, the tray menu will correctly display:

1. Quick access (Left-click)
2. Settings (Double-click)
3. Documentation
4. Report Bug
5. Close

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@niels9001 @davidegiacometti is this a regression from the PR where we updated the string names? @davidegiacometti Hi @niels9001 I just realized that the menu was missing in https://github.com//pull/40714 screenshots, but the regression was caused by https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/commit/f5797a065a5c2c448fd2b1780bd1353d712103c3. Unfortunately, many of the `.rc` files in the PT codebase have UTF16-LE encoding and GitHub doesn't show diff.

Fixes #42618

So, this was removed in 53b9898#diff-4095dc55de8a9eebff88733d026d1b9f0d054f7d8bf1688b7ef62c1a06f346d3

but yea looking through that PR, I don't think removing that menu item was intentional.
