On-boarding Wizard V1: bitcoin-core/gui#81

Would also like to discuss V2 and V3 concepts I have in mind.

Not a major priority but re-working the icon set is something I'd like to discuss briefly - personally I think using material icons would suffice, it covers pretty much all bases and aligns with the minimalist style of the GUI. I was going to post a issue for this on the GUI repo but would prefer all your input first.

One more topic from me. Is it allowed?
"Current state of the GUI migration from Widgets to QML"

Ref: bitcoin/bitcoin#16883 (comment)

Sure. We may need to be organized to fit everything into the hour.
