client/systray: warn users launching the application with sudo (#17595)

Browse Source 
If users start the application with sudo, DBUS is likely not available
or will not have the correct endpoints. We want to warn users when doing
this.

Closes #17593

It appears that you might be running the systray with sudo/doas.
This can lead to issues with D-Bus, and should be avoided.
The systray application should be run with the same user as your desktop session.
This usually means that you should run the application like:
tailscale systray
See https://tailscale.com/kb/1597/linux-systray for more information.`)
