"About Zulip" in main menu

[gnprice]

The choose-account page has a menu with one item, "About Zulip", taking you to a page with that title. That page in turn has the version of the Zulip app, and an option to see the list of licenses for various open-source software used in the app.

Now that we have (after #1035 / #1076) a new overall navigation scheme, we should also add an "About Zulip" option in the main menu. That seems a more natural place for people to find it.

(It should also remain available in its existing location on the choose-account page. That ensures it's always possible to reach, even in a scenario where you can't get to the home page because the data can't be loaded from the server.)

Reported in a chat thread.

Hey, By main menu do you mean this section?

Hey I have worked on this feature and have added an About Zulip button to the main menu of the app, proceeding to open a PR on this.
