1207598 - Add some hover title tooltips to explain Backfill and Retrigger

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect, P3)

Description

[Jonathan French (:jfrench)]

Culled from IRC, perhaps we can add something like this explanation below, as a hover title for each of the Retrigger/Backfill job menu li's in:
https://github.com/mozilla/treeherder/blob/ba39c25fa20609e2845d9dcfc19f15b159411a28/ui/partials/main/thJobDetailsRetriggerMenu.html

...to help discoverability.

13:10	bhearsum	what's the difference between retriggering a job and backfilling a job?
13:11	jmaher	bhearsum: backfilling will fill in jobs that were coalesced; retriggering will create another instance of the same existing job

Using some suitable wording.

Optionally, we could instead fold this in to work in inline/on-screen Help in bug 1141569.
