Are there any objections to the following actions:

- Copy latest SystemReporter from SqueakSource to trunk, and add it to
  the configuration map for trunk.

- Add an "About this System" menu pick in TheWorldMainDockingBar help
  menu to invoke a SystemReporter (if and only if class SystemReporter
  is present in the image), and remove the loading instructions from
  the "Extending the system" workspace.

- Add package SystemReporter to the list of packages removed by
  #unloadAllKnownPackages.

The result of the above changes would be that SystemReporter will be
a readily accessible menu pick for all users, and will be a fully
unloadable and reloadable package so as not to contribute to image
bloat.

If no objections, I will commit the changes to trunk in a day or so.

Thanks to Alex for this enhancement.
