Replace file tree alert with empty state text
What does this MR do and why?
Replaced the dismissible tip alert with a simple empty state message that appears when no files are included, clearly explaining: "When you add configuration files using include, they appear in this list." Tip alerts are designed to educate users about new features, not to explain empty states—using one here was semantically incorrect. The new approach follows design system guidelines by using the appropriate empty state pattern with clearer, simpler language.
