Bug: Add explainer tootlip to "active", "alum", and "new" highlight cards on list pages

[jpmcb]

Describe the bug

When looking at "new", "alum", and "active" user list contribution charts, it's not obvious what these terms mean and how they relate to the current time/date range.

This is an example of one of my charts where I've selected alum contributors but nothing else much shows up.

For clarification:

• "All" are all contributors in the current and previous timeblocks.
• "New" are contributors who've contributed in the current timeblock but not the last timeblock.
• "Alum" are contributors who've contributed in the previous timeblock but not the current one.
• "Active" are contributors who've contributed in both the current and previous timeblocks.

This is a sort of sliding window algorithm. So, for example, with a timeblock of 30 days, a new contributor is someone who's contributed in the last 30 days but not 30-60 days ago.

Cc @isabensusan - not sure how to approach this from the product perspective.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to a list chart
2. Notice there's no explanation on what our terms mean.

@jpmcb I thought this was going to be part of the tooltip issue. It's mentioned in here: #1806 (comment). @OgDev-01 do you know?

Ah nice: yeah I think that issue covers it - this is a duplicate, I didn't see that issue when I initially searched for it. Thanks for the heads up!

Hey! Even if we had scoped this on the quoted issue and PR, the active/alum/new didn't get added so I'm re-opening this issue.

To add more context:

Scope of work

In PR #2309 we implemented explainer tooltips to the metrics cards on Insight pages that give users a brief description of what the metric refers to:

We want to replicate the same change to the metric cards in lists pages:

Using the following copy by @BekahHW :
Active Contributors - a contributor who has been active in the last 30 days.
New Contributors - a contributor who has recently made their first contribution to a project.
Alumni Contributors - a contributor who has not been active on a project in the last 30 days.
