Refactor icon initialization and make use of CreateIconResourceDirectory() for improved efficiency

- Refactored Icon.Initialize() method, replacing manual icon selection logic with LookupIconIdFromDirectoryEx() for better accuracy.
- Introduced CreateIconResourceDirectory(), simplifying RT_GROUP_ICON data creation from ICO file data.
- Removed redundant s_bitDepth field, relying on direct calculations when needed.
- Eliminated unnecessary width/height calculations, replacing them with direct system metric retrieval.
- Optimized memory handling, avoiding unnecessary spans and copies while ensuring correct alignment.
- Functionality remains unchanged, but initialization is now more efficient and maintainable
- Three test cases where changed due to LookupIconIdFromDirectoryEx() icon selection logic (used in Windows)
