Add onboarding guide to settings page #428

Description

@juanfra

The plugin depends heavily on AI connectors, which will be a new admin page. It's likely that without guidance, people trying the plugin for the first time won't know where to start or how to properly set things up to start testing.

I propose we show a <Guide /> the first time the settings page is loaded, and that we also consider including a button to open the guide (i.e.: "Getting started").

Suggested steps:

  1. Welcome: Brief intro to WordPress AI.
  2. Connect an AI provider: Info and link to the "Connectors" page with a link, explain they need to install a connector plugin and add API credentials.
  3. Enable experiments: Explain how to turn on AI features like title generation, image creation, etc.

I've created a quick prototype, which I'm sharing below. I quickly mocked up an image that I'm reusing on each step. If we decide to move forward with this idea, we could create step-specific images (or even animations) based on the new identity @shaunandrews is crafting (is there a link to a figma I could check?)
