Flesh out "help" and "about" in help menu #584

Probably need to have these say something meaningful before the public alpha. Right now they just have some placeholder text.

"About" can just pop up a dialog with JBrowse 2, the version number, and our funding sources. Similar to JBrowse 1.

"Help" just pops up a dialog about JBrowse and points people to the help email address.

Help email address is support@jbrowse.org, and that is an alias for jbrowse-dev@lists.berkeley.edu

A few concerns here:

So we need some other method of user support. I would suggest starting a "jbrowse2" (or similar) tag on biostars and having user support questions go there.
