refactor(gui-client): merge all windows into a single view (#9295)
This PR refactors the GUI clients frontend into a single window with a
sidebar. The functionality remains the same but we do make minor UI
improvements on the way. To pull the entire refactor off, we now use
`react` and `flowbite-react` for the GUI. All the communication with the
backend is moved towards one-way commands and events. That means, the
flow is always:
- Backend emits events to update frontend
- Frontend triggers actions in the backend that may or may not result in
further events
This allows us to decouple the GUI from knowing about which side-effects
change what parts of the state. Instead, it simply updates whenever it
receives an event.
- The previous "Advanced Settings" screen is now split into two parts:
Settings and Diagnostics. Later, we will add a "General settings" page
here.
- The tray menu remains identical to the current one. When the user
clicks "Settings" or "About", we open the window and navigate to the
corresponding page.
- The app and git version are now directly embedded in the frontend,
simplifying the interaction between the frontend and the backend
further.
