Provide a button to quit Inkscape from the Welcome Screen

Summary:

When opening Inkscape and arriving at the welcome screen, there is no way to quit Inkscape without force-quitting it through your operating system's UI. This is kind of annoying, especially when Inkscape is opened accidentally.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape

What happened?

The welcome screen opens with the options to Load or New Document only.

What should have happened?

IMO there should be another option to Quit.
