Bug Description

Picking a skin is at best undiscoverable (hidden in preferences) and at worst makes Mixxx unusable due to screen resolutions.

We should create a skin-picker that lets the user pick from available skins. The picker should show the recommended resolution and a screenshot of the skin. I propose we bundle a screenshot as screenshot.png in each skin folder.

We should add an <info> section to the skin definition like this:

<skin>
  <info>
    <author>...</author>
    <title>...</title>
    <version>...</version>
    <description>...</description>
    <min-resolution>...</min-resolution>
  </info>
  ..
</skin>

We should also make the skin-picker accessible from the menu and run before displaying the interface the first time a user runs Mixxx.
