Welcome screen updates for 3.0

[DJPaul]

I'm trying to do a more substantial to the welcome screen than we have done for a couple of years.
Opening this ticket to track progress/discussion.

Rough plan here is:

Moving the Credits screen into a tab in "Settings > BuddyPress"
New modal-style appearance for the About page (I'm calling this the "Hello" screen.
Update Credits screen with names for 3.0

Long term plan:

Look at turning the Hello screen into something powered by better JS, with RSS-like feed support.
Find a way to better surface Hello as the go-to location to learn about BuddyPress, and get support.

In 11998:

See #7741

In 11999:

Admin: add "Hello" screen for 3.0.

To celebrate Nouveau, the new version/about screen has a fresh new modal-style appearance -- the "Hello" screen.
The change includes build tooling support, and removal of redundant markup/assets from the old about screen.

The Hello screen does not currently distinguish between a new install, and an upgrade, though the previous support for this remains intact for any future use.

In my local multisite installation, the new Hello, BuddyPress! admin-bar link points to http://wp.test/wp-admin/network/?hello=buddypress. Not sure what it should be, but it results in the network admin dashboard without any BP content.

I need to add the WP-CLI extension to the Hello screen text.

@r-a-y The scss file will need to be updated for those changes above otherwise we'll just overwrite next time it's compiled?

With this hello.scss we'll need to add it in to the linter as we're breaking the ordering convention for properties.

[DJPaul]

r-a-y did, in the previous commit r12006.

Also, I am pretty sure the new file is being linted. I set that up and I know it flagged issues which I resolved during development.

[hnla]

The property ordering I'm looking at in the scss/css files is wrong.

I don't see the scss file included in the commit though??

I'll run the linter & see what errors it's flagging up.
