Default tooltips positioning changed when we changed to bootstrap 4
Problem
I heard from @winh the following:
The default placement for bootstrap tooltips (which we are using) is
top
: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/components/tooltips/#options
However, our documentation says the following at https://design.gitlab.com/components/tooltips
By default, tooltips are placed below the referring element. However, when there isn’t enough space in the viewport, the tooltip is moved to the side or above as needed. If it blocks related content, the preferred tooltip placement can be manually set.
Proposal
Adjust the code to make the default placement of tooltips "above" / "top" (Decision made per gitlab-design#190 (comment 94709367))
