fix(waybar): carry tray-menu counter-rules in the bar stylesheet itself
Some checks failed
Check / eval (push) Has been cancelled

The e8658fe cure (USER-priority gtk.css counter-rules) verified in a
plain GTK app but not in the real Waybar-hosted nm-applet menu: Waybar
adds its provider at GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER as well
(src/client.cpp), and in practice its rules win the tie against
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css on GTK 3.24 — reproduced by injecting the
bar stylesheet above USER priority: arrow, checkmark and separator all
vanish, matching the live menu exactly.

The only placement that wins at ANY provider priority is inside the
same stylesheet: after each '*' reset, restore the CSS-sized menu
nodes (menuitem arrow 16px, check/radio 14px, separator 1px line) and
give menus a text face instead of the bar's glyph font. Applied to
boreal + executive-slate waybar.css and waybar.nix generatedStyle;
stylix.nix comment corrected (its rules now cover ordinary GTK apps
only).

Ground truth checked over D-Bus first: nm-applet exports per-network
Wi-Fi icons as dbusmenu icon-data, and with gtk-menu-images=1 the
connected network's icon already renders in the live menu — the
remaining loss was arrows/checks/separators, all CSS-box nodes.
