As discussed internally, Davide is going to start creating the blueprint
for this feature request, so he will be the drafter. If you agree, I'm
going to take the approver role for this FR. ;-)

(FR) Startup-screen needs re-design

Bug description:
After choosing "instant review" on the startup screen (RevAger assistant), the user is offered the option to open an existing Review. But why? If there is already a saved review, this should be rather covered by the "scribe" mode already. Or is there something special about opening previous instant reviews?

Actually I think that both options offered there - the catalog manager and the "open review" function - should be part of the first screen, since they are not really mode-specific. Of course, putting all that those options in the startup screen would make it a bit too cluttered up, since we would have:

- Moderator mode
- Scribe mode
- Instant mode
- Language selection
- Catalog manager
- Open review

Maybe it would be worth considering a re-design of the first screen, i.e. offering only:

- Start new review
- Open existing review
- Open Catalog manager
- Select language

Choosing the first option would allow the user to specify the mode in the following wizard step.
