 With automatic updates, there will be fewer and fewer people who are
 visiting About page and still this is the first choose media for us to
 communicate with users, extenders and developers. A banner on the
 dashboard requires clicking on it to go and browser About page content. By
 opening About page one time for each user automatically the first time the
 user is entering the Dashboard after update, it can help to get the
 attention of an audience more fully. This flag "Should the About page be
 opened or not" needs to be kept in user's meta because, for example, in
 case of The Block Editor it's a bit annoying when you are opening The
 Editor from another browser and have an introductory helper again.
