feat: make "About" and "Help" sections configurable

[armandobermudezmartinez]

Description

This pull request introduces configurable Help and About texts to the SciCat Frontend, which addresses the problem described in Issue #1745.
Users can now provide the desired texts in the frontend.config as a json item, for instance:

"aboutText": "This catalog allows users to access publicly available data and metadata from experiments and simulations provided by members of the scientific community. All data available has been curated to the best effort and knowledge but is provided without warranty. If you need support or have general questions, please contact us via [email protected]",

The main changes include:
Added configurable attributes in AboutComponent class:
aboutText
accessText
termsText
termsTextContinued
and in the HelpComponent class:
docText
gettingStartedExtraText
whereIsMyDataText
howToPublishDataText
ingestManualExtraText
whereAreMyProposalsExtraText
whereAreMySamplesExtraText
The attributes were also added to the AppConfigService to manage the configurable values.
Added linky module to the HelpComponent to automatically render URLs from text.
Unit tests were added for the new configurable attributes in AppConfigService, AboutComponent, and HelpComponent.

This update will enable users to easily add or modify institution-specific information such as license details, privacy policies, and help content without requiring code changes.

Hi @armandobermudezmartinez,
Thank you for your contribution to the SciCat project. However, we cannot review this PR until the mixed commit history is cleaned up, as it includes unrelated code changes.

@armandobermudezmartinez thank you so much for your contribution.
Could you please merge the master in to your branch and update this PR?

[armandobermudezmartinez]

I agree with the changes

[nitrosx]

@armandobermudezmartinez before we can review and approve it, you should merge the latest master into this PR.
Also, we suggest to place the help text in a separate json file. Look at the functionalAccounts.json as an example
