Draw the + on the pixel grid so it stays sharp on 1x screens

On a 1x display TDesign's + smeared at every small size: its 24-grid
strokes are centred on the box's middle, which at 12 or 14px is a pixel
boundary, so each ~1px bar covered two pixels at half ink. A thinner
stroke alone keeps the bar on the boundary. This is not Electrobun:
headless Chrome renders the same.

pixelAdd (icons.ts) redraws the + on the 14px grid with 1px bars at 7.5,
so they fill whole pixels at 1x and 2x, half a pixel off-centre. It
replaces tdesignAdd in the tab bar, the shortcut rows, the connection
manager and the tab menu. Checked at 1x in the real tab-bar and
shortcut-row markup: single-pixel bars at full ink.

- **On a 1x screen, a TDesign line through the icon's centre smears at any
small size.** At 12 or 14px the centre is a pixel boundary, so a ~1px bar
covers two pixels at half ink. A 1px stroke alone doesn't help, because the
bar stays centred on the boundary. This is geometry, not Electrobun:
headless Chrome renders the same. So the + is `pixelAdd` (`icons.ts`),
redrawn on the 14px grid with 1px bars at 7.5, which fill whole pixels at 1x
and at 2x. It's tuned for `--icon-size-sm` only. Arrow shafts (↑ →) have
the same issue if it ever shows.
