The about alias

This alias, by default translated to the internal zellij:about plugin url, is the About screen. It shows what is new in this version of Zellij, startup tips and the "Setup Zellij" entry to the setup screen.

Zellij loads this plugin through the alias to show the release notes the first time a new version runs (see the show_release_notes option) and the startup tips (see show_startup_tips). The default Ctrl o + a keybinding loads zellij:about directly rather than through the alias.
