Remove the GLQL popover and experimental badge (for glql_work_items)
What does this MR do and why?
- Remove the GLQL popover: The GLQL popover was introduced in 18.3 as a promotional message in the rich text editor. Three milestones later, it is now time to remove it. We also remove the New badge on the Embedded views option in RTE and PTE more dropdown.
- Remove experimental badge on embedded views when
glql_work_itemsFF is enabled. Since the FF is now enabled for everyone by default. - Add some padding on top for empty state in embedded views.
