Bug description:
  
  [ Impact ]

   * Users who use the chrome browser and chrome based extensions & apps
  such as Element no longer see a panel icon - it is sometimes either
  hidden or shown with an empty icon symbol

   * In 2019 chrome tried to support xembed, appindicators and
  kdestatusnotifier.  Unfortunately, appindicators (as was then) should
  two icons in the panel - one empty symbol, the second the
  appindicator/kdestatusnotifier.

   * chrome has now dropped both appindicators and xembed support.  This
  allows us to revert the 2019 change.

   * In 2019 we blacklisted chrome icons.  This patch reverts this and
  removes the blacklisted icons

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Launch chrome and/or element desktop

   * Look at the panel where other ayatana appindicators are shown (verify the position of the budgie-indicator-applet in budgie-desktop-settings)
   * with the current implementation - an icon should appear but with an empty symbol, or may not appear at all.
   * enable the proposed repository in Menu - Update sources - developer options
   * for 22.04: via a terminal type:
     sudo apt update
     sudo apt install budgie-indicator-applet/jammy-proposed
   *  for 23.04: via a terminal type:
     sudo apt update
     sudo apt install budgie-indicator-applet/lunar-proposed
   * untick the proposed repository via Menu - Update sources - developer options
   * Logout and login
   * Launch chrome / element-desktop
   * look at the position in the panel where the ayatana indicator applet (budgie-indicator-applet) is based.  The chrome/element-desktop icon should be visible and clicking on the applet will display the associated app menu.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * Ayatana indicators have fairly good KDEStatusNotifierItem support which is what chrome now uses.  There are though some chrome based apps that use image types that ayatana indicators do not support.  In these cases, the same empty symbol/no icon is shown.  This could be construed as confusing as to why some chrome apps now begin to work and others don't.
   * This will have to be another update once upstream have resolved:
     https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator/issues/47

  [ Other Info ]

   * Due to the imminent end-of-support for kinetic an upload for this
  series hasn't been done.

  ----

  Tray icons of some apps are not shown in AppIndicator applet. I
  believe the underlying problem is with KStatusNotifierItem support.
  Apps like Slack, Element are some apps that exhibit the problem.
