Title: New welcome screen

#523 seems to have a bad project.properties file, hopefully this will fix it

The tutorial deck generation is broken in 2.3 (see [issue 2306](https://code.google.com/p/ankidroid/issues/detail?id=2306)), and rather than fixing it, I thought it was better to just fast-track the [changes I've been planning](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/anki-android/cZ6gtU3vh_M/discussion) which would replace the tutorial deck.

This PR uses the [ShowcaseView](https://github.com/amlcurran/ShowcaseView) library to show a welcome screen overlay whenever the DeckPicker is opened with an empty collection. The overlay points the user to the + button in the deck picker for adding content, and also to the getting started section of the user manual which goes into more detail. I will also add some tutorial videos there in the near future so the tutorial deck is no longer needed.

The text position and radius of the circle could do with a bit of tweaking, but I think this is fine for now (the text only overlaps like this on tiny QVGA screen), and I'd like to push this into 2.3.
