Update webpack on-demand compiler placeholder message

Mike Greiling requested to merge mg-update-webpack-on-demand-message into master

What does this MR do?

Prepares for our upcoming change to enable webpack incremental compiling by default (#300412 (closed), gitlab-development-kit!2146 (merged)) by updating the compiler placeholder page with additional information.

This ought to reduce confusion among users seeing this message for the first time once it becomes enabled by default.

How to setup and validate locally (strongly suggested)

  1. Enable webpack.live_reload in your gdk.yml settings (docs)
  2. Start your GDK (or re-start your webpack process)
  3. Navigate to a page which is not pre-compiled (likely any gitlab page which you do not access often)
  4. Observe the placeholder text renders as expected (screen shot above)
