Improve the environment info provided in the "About" box #4639

Description

@daFreeMan

Especially in light of #4635 would it be possible to parse all installed plugins when the RD starts up and write them to the log with the other environment settings or put them in the "About" dialog box to be copy/pasta'd when reporting a bug? Additionally, reporting the installed memory, and if possible, the amount currently in use by the host app would be some extra credit bonus points.

In the log could be considered (by some) a privacy issue since it reports what you're running and a lot of people (me) wouldn't look at the log before submitting, but the "About" box just copies info to the clipboard which the user pastes into the bug report - in theory they should read through what they've just pasted & could remove something if they felt it was necessary.

This would have an added benefit of giving a vagueish idea of what the user base is running and might give some clues/hints on things to consider for future development.
