Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5111

I have resurrected firejail-welcome.sh from contrib section (author @rusty-snake), moved it under firecfg with some small modifications. It is a short interactive configuration guide for new users. Run it as:

$ sudo firecfg --guide

The script uses zenity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenity). In case the user doesn't have zenity installed, we redirect the calls to a small program in /usr/lib/firejail that has a similar interface and works in console - I'll bring it up in a few days.

Take a look, bugs, add/remove things, spelling, English etc.

I guess running zenity (a graphical program) as root makes problems on some systems.

Fixed: "sudo -u username zenity", where username comes as a script argument.

Added a replacement for zenity in case zenity is not installed. To test it run "sudo firecfg --guide --debug"
