Feature: Help menu item to take you to the SquareDesk Manual

Nice idea contributed by Gero Teufert!

Maybe it should just take you to the Reference tab?

Or better yet, it should redirect to a Wiki, and I should stop making a separate doc file that gets included in the release....then the included file could just be an HTML redirect to the Wiki page.

Or for now there could be 2 options:

SquareDesk Help
SD Help

and both of these just open the respective PDF files using the system PDF viewer (Preview).

That sounds like the simplest approach for now.

OK, for now I implemented a Help menu with the following options:

SquareDesk Help: opens up the PDF file (I know it's old) that we copied to <music directory>/reference
SD Help: opens up the PDF file (that matches the version of SD we are using) that we copied to <music directory>/reference
Report a Bug: opens up "https://github.com/mpogue2/SquareDesk/issues" in a browser (the user will have to sign up to report bugs, but this is free. And, it does NOT require signing up to just view the existing bugs and feature requests.)

Closing as Fixed.
