Add general UI introduction

Adds a Help > UI Introduction, which highlights basic aspects of the Qt
Creator UI.

The pages to show are defined in a format that can later move into a
text based configuration file like JSON. It specifies an optional object
name of a widget to highlight, a title, a brief description and a longer
description (potentially with tables, lists and other simple HTML).
