Subject: feat(about): custom About dialog with icon, copyright and project
 link

Replace QMessageBox::about with a QDialog laid out in two columns: the
application icon on the left at 40%, the version, description, copyright
and AI-assistance notice on the right at 60%. A full-width row below both
carries the project URL.

The copyright line, GPLv2 notice and AI-assistance disclosure were absent
from the About window despite being present in the source headers and the
README.
