fix: remove forced default icon for identities without icon configured (#251)

Status bar previously showed a person icon for all identities without an
icon via `identity.icon || '...'` fallback. Now shows only the identity
name when no icon is set. The default preset profile is unaffected as it
has an explicit icon value configured.
- Remove hardcoded fallback icon in identityStatusBar.ts setIdentity()
- Bump version to 0.16.7
- Update CHANGELOG.md
