Adds a new window that pops up when the system is first launched to provide some first run improvements to users. This window displays a welcome message & several links to documentation & support pages.

Beneath that are some important settings that are useful to get set immediately including rules version, calendar, bastion, and whether the metric system is used. Any changes to these settings are saved when the window is closed and a reload will be prompted if needed.

The second tab contains a list of all of the first-party modules offered for the system. These modules can be easily enabled from this screen and any selected modules will be enabled when the app is closed.

Welcome Screen Modules

The list of modules is contained in a JSON file included with the system, but it will also check the copy of that file on the publish-wiki branch of the GitHub. This should allow the system to add new modules to this listing without requiring a new system version.
