Description

The "Definition of Done" for this RFC is:

This feature is deployed to all Forems, and we can assert that every size Forem, regardless of Forem size, can render articles on the sidebar. We should be able to see that every Forem (even if those that have few posts or old posts) can always display posts for a tag, regardless of an article's published_at date or score.

This PR is part one of a two-part solution to ensure that posts show beneath the tags in the homepage's righthand sidebar, regardless of the Forem's size and the article's published_at date, score, and comment_count. The first part of this two-part solution focuses specifically on the #help tag in the homepage's righthand sidebar. To accomplish this, I've updated the active_help scope the Article model. This scope is responsible for determining which posts to show under the #help tag found in the homepage's righthand sidebar. In addition to this, I've added a test for this work to spec/models/article_spec.rb.
