Release v1.7.133

Three improvements for users running on servers where the Windows account
is not "Administrator" or where the environment is headless (Service, RDP-
disconnected, no interactive desktop):

1. readSettingsFile / readSessionFile: distinguish ENOENT (normal first run)
   from EACCES/EPERM (permission problem). The latter logs an explicit
   message including the current Windows username so the user can spot
   misconfigured ACLs immediately.

2. ensureBaseDir: log EACCES/EPERM with the current username before re-
   throwing. Previously the error bubbled up without any hint why the
   AppData directory creation failed.

3. createTray: log a warning when Tray creation fails (typical on Windows
   Service / headless servers / RDP disconnected sessions). Previously the
   error was silently swallowed and minimize-to-tray would just not work
   without explanation.

These errors were silently swallowed before, making it impossible to
diagnose problems on servers with restricted user accounts.
