Cinnamon's System Tray does not scale icons on HiDPI properly. The image below shows discord and update manager icons aliased.

Steps to reproduce

Have a Hi-DPI monitor Install some apps that generate system tray icons Preferences -> General -> User interface scaling: Double (Hi-DPI)

Expected behaviour

Cinnamon's System Tray icons should be scaled to Hi-DPI as the others (bluetooth, ethernet, sound, time anb desktop)

I'm finding the same with the keyboard icon (the flag) and the update manager icon. The bluetooth icon is also pixelated for me, unlike @hgmoreira. These are the last remaining things preventing cinnamon from being a beautiful desktop! The lock, shutdown and suspend are also low-dpi too.

This seems to work fine in v5 for me.
