Add a tooltip to the "?" button in the pipeline status MR widget

Release notes

Problem to solve

When we show the "Checking pipeline status" widget in an MR, the "?" button doesn't have any tooltip and on click opens the help page in a new tab. Without a tooltip and with no other affordance that it's a button this jump to a new tab is unexpected. The pattern also isn't aligned with Pajamas.

Proposal

On hover we can show a tooltip giving more context about the action.

From Pajamas:

If there isn’t space available for a Help link text, use the question svg (#1068bf) to link to the Help content. Use a tooltip to indicate the primary question answered by the help content.

In this case, the tooltip could say something along the lines of Get more information about troubleshooting pipelines.
