Tooltips for property controls

[Rory-Powell]

Describe the feature request There are lots of places in the builder where tooltips would become a useful feature, adding additional context to forms and controls that aren't immediately obvious. The component settings panel is an ideal candidate for tooltips due to the sometimes complex outcomes of using that setting.

When I'm using the budibase platform, I want to see help sections and tooltips so that I can be guided through the budibase experience.

COS

• Add tooltip support the the component manifest
• Address any styling issues - line height / horizontal overflow with panel
• Add tooltips/help sections to the publish section to tell the user how it works
• Help guides on data UI for setting up relationships, and showing how data source plus works

TBA

• Which design settings need tooltips
• Wider UX review as to what the user can be guided through

Added the ability to add tooltips to settings using a tooltip key in the manifest, but overflow is a major problem as the panel needs to vertically scroll, which forces horizontal overflow to also be hidden. The only solution is basically roll our own completely custom tooltip for the settings panel and I don't know if this is high enough priority to spend a good amount of time on this.

@aptkingston I added a basic tooltip for the publish workflow updates in https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/pull/5489. It may be of some use here
