applets/weather: surface it more obviously in the UI

Right now the weather widget is disabled by default in the System Tray. As a result, I think most people don't realize that it can exist there, and either never discover it at all, or only discover it when they use Widget Explorer and then add it to their panel in standalone form.

We can surface this beautiful and well-polished applet more obviously so people are more likely to find it and benefit from it. To do that, let's give it the "passive" status by default, which makes it appear in the system tray's popup. Then we can tweak the icon and labels to make it more inviting.

People who don't want this functionality can of course still disable it.

Here's how it looks with a new default panel:
