As discussed during the last _Slicer office hour_, this commit simplifies the Welcome module. The associated documentation was out of date and a duplicate of what is already available on the wiki.

After completing the transition to readthedocs (wip: [PR#686](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/686)), we may revisit and embed the generated html in the application.

The time being, here is the updated UI implemented in [PR#810](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/810):
