Description

We should add a list of connected applications in the about dialog (or somewhere else). This enables applications to register themselves to show their version number and a support url.
See https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-inotify/issues/65 for a use case.

The issue does not name files or tests; start by locating the about dialog and the code that could accept connected-application metadata. Define how applications provide a version and support URL, then verify that the about dialog displays the registered applications with both values.
