Add an "About the app" item to the main overflow menu#136
Merged
Conversation
A Material dialog with the app icon, name, and version (surfaces the version in-app, related to #113), a brief description of what the app does, developer credit, the free-and-open-source / Apache 2.0 license line, and a short note that battery figures are device-provided estimates and the app ships as-is without warranty. A neutral button opens the project's GitHub page. New strings translated in values-ar.

Closes #134. Related: #113 (surfaces the app version in-app).
What
A new "About the app" item in the main screen's overflow menu (after "Send feedback") opens a Material dialog with:
appVersionName())developer_namestring, consistent with the signature footer)Per the discussion in #134, the open-source/license statement is included in-app as a trust signal (and groundwork for the F-Droid listing, #4), while the personal "playground" tone stays in the README.
