This PR adds info about IPFS Desktop to the welcome page introduced in #565.
The Welcome Screen appears once, after initial install from add-on store.
I also fixed/tweaked some links to give a better onboarding experience.

Before

TERMINAL OR DIE

Cool. Perhaps it can be very slightly simplified, a la …

Prefer to use the command line?
