Description

Would it be possible to add a tray menu item to quickly toggle bandwidth limiting? I often want to limit the bandwidth used by Syncthing so that other apps (and devices) can use it, but it would be nice to be able to quickly toggle it on/off instead of having to go into the web interface. (I realise that it means a restart.)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the tray menu code in SyncTrayzor and implement a toggle for bandwidth limiting. This likely involves adding a new menu item that triggers a restart of Syncthing with updated bandwidth limits.
