Add introduction to the new online help system
This adds a very basic explanation of the new help command that can be displayed using ":help intro". This introduction is also added as default page so that users can simply type ":help" instead. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <calcurse@cryptocrack.de>

+calcurse Online Help
+====================
+
+Welcome to the calcurse online help. The online help system allows for easily
+getting help on specific calcurse features.
+
+On the calcurse main screen, type `:help <feature>` (e.g. `:help add`) to get
+help on a specific feature. Type `:help` without any parameter to display this
+introduction or simply use the corresponding keyboard shortcut (`?` by
+default).
+
+All help texts are displayed using an external pager. You need to exit the
+pager in order to get back to calcurse (pressing `q` should almost always
+work). The default pager can be changed by setting the PAGER environment
+variable.
