Add an About section to the account menu (#51)

Shows the app version, links the AGPL-3.0-or-later license text, and
links the source repo -- AGPL's own suggested-usage text recommends
exactly this ("if your software can interact with users remotely...
its interface could display a 'Source' link"), not just a courtesy
credits screen.

Version comes from package.json at build time via a Vite `define`
(__APP_VERSION__), so it can't drift from what's actually released.
License text is served at /LICENSE via a frontend/public/ symlink to
the repo-root LICENSE, the same pattern already used for the user
guide. Also bumps both package manifests to 1.0.0 ahead of tagging
the first release.
