Idea: Welcome screen on first startup

[PiKeyAr]

Just wanted to share an idea for discussion. Instead of making a separate installer, we could have a welcome wizard in the Manager that would show up when the Manager is run for the first time. The purpose is to streamline Mod Loader installation and configuration for both new and experienced users. It could be done in a wizard-like style, and many of its elements are already present in the manager. It could include the following pages:

Page 1. Select the language - same as now. Page 2. Confirm (if auto-detected) or pick the game folder(s).

• Check game compatibility. If it's target for conversion, tell the user it will be converted.
• Until conversion is implemented directly in the Manager, show a message telling the user to get the installer (or a streamlined conversion tool that I made as a part of it).
• Proceed with conversion if necessary.
• Proceed with Mod Loader installation in the selected folder.
• Some optimal settings can be auto set here, such as matching the game's resolution to the monitor's native resolution, enabling Borderless Fullscreen and installing the URL handler.

Page 3. Configure controls

• Prompt the user to run AppLauncher or show the Mod Manager's controls editor when it becomes available.

Page 4. Get mods

• Show links to pages with 1-click install links to some of the popular mods. I can make a page like this, also I could implement the old installer's Guide Mode as a web page. We could even host some kind of beginner mod list as a page on GitHub.

I think this is a pretty solid idea. Definitely something to consider adding before we get SA2 support added since I can see this easily getting purposed into a handler for new game detection on top of a first time setup wizard.

I think right now the focus will still stick to ensuring stability since we are having so many varied reports of random bugs. Once we get things stabilized a good bit though, I absolutely think this should be part of the road map.
