Summary0005783: Add some additional entries in the help menu, report a bug, link to cheet sheet, forums, etc
DescriptionI was using Blender today and noticed that the help menu has some useful entries that I think could be helpful in Ardour's help menu. The help menu is a user's first port of call when looking for answers to problems they encounter. If more information is available, it might help users find answers quicker (less likely to give up on the software) and also have a better understanding of the project itself. This could make it easier for any new users who aren't familiar with all the resources and support available. Also, "how to report a bug" and "report a bug" links might encourage more people to report bugs.

Here are some suggestions as to what the menu could include -

About (as is)

Manual (as is)
Reference (as is)
Cheat Sheet (https://community.ardour.org/files/ardour-2.8.3-bindings-x-a4.pdf - all key bindings can be found in window > keybindings but a cheat sheet might be a handy, and more organised, reference for more common key bindings)

Ardour Website (ardour.org)
Ardour Development (http://ardour.org/development.html - might get someone interested if it's easy to find within Ardour)
User Forums (https://community.ardour.org/forums)

Issue is resolved in this Pull Request: https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/pull/67

las: zeckenarmee: i think we need (a) redirects rather than explicit URLs (b) we probably need some kind of version info in the URL we do use
