Description of the new feature/enhancement
Settings that use the word 'tray' to refer to the notification area of the Windows taskbar should use the correct name (i.e. 'notification area'.)
As Raymond Chen pointed out almost 2 decades ago:
One of the most common errors is to refer to the Taskbar Notification Area as the “tray” or the “system tray”. This has never been correct. If you find any documentation that refers to it as the “tray” then you found a bug.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Preview 1.11 has introduced new settings called minimizeToTray and alwaysShowTrayIcon. These should be renamed to minimizeToNotificationArea and alwaysShowNotificationIcon respectively before this feature ships. Documentation for related features should replace all mention of the 'tray' with the correct term: 'notification area'.
