Move About-tab copy to HellionStrings and rephrase neutrally

Browse Source 
The About tab copy was hand-written in English directly in About.cs,
which left the German users on the upstream Chat 2 wording for the
Hellion-specific blocks. The copy itself also leaned on em-dashes
mid-sentence and on a tone that could read as accusing Chat 2 of
GDPR violations, which was never the intent. This commit moves the
six About-tab sections (Maintainer, Why this fork exists, Built on
Chat 2, License, FFXIV disclaimer, Localization) into HellionStrings
and tightens the wording in both languages.

Tone change is the substantive part. Chat 2's full-history default
is now described as "the right one for most users" rather than a
problem the fork is fixing, and the webinterface removal is framed
as a focus mismatch — Chat 2's webinterface targets remote chat
access from a second device, this fork targets a smaller default
footprint, neither approach is wrong. The personal trigger for the
fork (two million logged messages over two years, mostly /say and
/yell from strangers) stays as it is honest context rather than
criticism.

The same neutralised wording is mirrored in three more places that
described the webinterface removal: the README "Was gegenüber
Chat 2 fehlt" block, the HellionChat.yaml description and changelog,
and the matching repo.json fields. The 0.2.0 changelog no longer
recites the upstream auth-flow internals; "different use case,
substantial rebuild, removed" is enough for users.

Em-dashes were also removed from two body strings that previously
used them as comma replacements (Privacy filter storage-only help
and the retention default description). Heading-level dashes
("Hellion Chat — Welcome", "Export (GDPR Art. 15 — right of
access)") stay because dashes are appropriate as separators in
titles.

The Theme description was already inaccurate — it still talked
about slate-violet tabs and amber highlights even though the brand
sweep moved everything onto Arctic Cyan plus Ember Orange. Updated
to describe the current palette honestly.

### Was gegenüber Chat 2 fehlt
- **Webinterface** wurde in Hellion Chat 0.2.0 entfernt. Der eingebaute HTTP-Server hat unter dem Privacy-Versprechen nicht abgesichert werden können (5-stelliger numerischer Auth-Code aus `System.Random`, Bind auf alle Interfaces per Default, Cookies ohne Security-Flags und ein Server-Sent-Events-Stream der den Privacy-Filter umgangen hat). Wer den Funktionsumfang von Chat 2 vollständig braucht, sollte beim Upstream-Plugin bleiben; Hellion Chat fokussiert auf DSGVO-konforme Persistenz und verzichtet bewusst auf Remote-Zugriffs-Features.
- **Webinterface** wurde in Hellion Chat 0.2.0 entfernt. Es bedient einen anderen Anwendungsfall als der Fokus dieses Forks, nämlich Remote-Zugriff auf den Chat von einem zweiten Gerät. An die kleineren Defaults dieses Forks anzupassen hätte einen erheblichen Umbau bedeutet, also ist es ersatzlos entfernt worden. Wer den vollen Funktionsumfang von Chat 2 möchte, ist mit dem Upstream-Plugin besser bedient. Hellion Chat fokussiert sich auf einen schmaleren Datenbestand und verzichtet bewusst auf Remote-Zugriffs-Features.
