Attach tooltip to a wrapper in disabled buttons

What does this MR do?

This Merge Request fixes a bug with the new Tooltips API where tooltips with disabled buttons don‘t disappear in the blob viewer. This problem arises because BootstrapVue tooltips do not work on disabled elements unlike their Bootstrap counterpart.

To fix this problem, we have to address every case individually. Each disabled button should be wrapped in a span elements that has the tooltip attached. This Merge Request focuses on the blob button helpers and I will open other merge requests for HAML templates.

How to test?

  • Enable the gl_tooltips feature flag in your local environment.
  • Open the following URL: http://localhost:3000/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/-/blob/57342272e6c2c74894c4d2fa56344044f4350e90/LICENSE.txt
  • You should see the Edit buttons disabled. If you hover over them, the tooltips should appear and dissapear when hovering out.
