Add "About KDE" page

Joshua Goins requested to merge work/redstrate/about-kde-page into master

Kirigami applications currently lack their own "About KDE" page, something that is standard of traditional QWidget and KXMLGUI KDE applications. This MR adds a Kirigami equivalent:

Why Kirigami Add-ons?

The applications I want to put these in are already using Kirigami Add-ons (Tokodon, NeoChat, Kalendar, etc) and secondly, there has been talk about moving AboutPage from Kirigami to Add-ons already, so I figured I'd start here. If we wanted AboutKDE to make it's way into Kirigami, then I can make a version using standard Kirigami controls.

Current Problems

  • I just took the existing paragraphs from KXMLGUI's "About KDE" which is very wordy for mobile. I hope the Promotion team can suggest a more stripped down version. I already tried removing some sentences that is basically just links with buttons instead. I wanted to avoid rich text links like the desktop version, because those would be hard to tap on mobile. * I also know that it's missing translation tags, I wanted to make sure the text was set in stone before messing with that.
  • I tried to get QML's multiline string literals to play nicely, but it still sucks (you can see the missing indentation) - any QML experts feel free to chime in and see if there's a better way of doing it.
  • I also need to bump up the version number in the docs too.
