ui: Add all tooltips to the default tabbing order in the page (#9888)
* ui: Add all tooltips to the default tabbing order in the page

This amends our tooltip modifier to automatically add a tabindex="0" to
all of our tooltips (if they aren't tabbable already).

This means that all tooltips will automatically be
added to the natural tab order of the page. I'm pretty sure we don't
currently require the ability to disable this automatic functionality
but if we do at some point in the future we can add an option to disable
it, meaning all tooltips will be tabbable by default.

# tooltip
Consul UIs tooltip modifier is a thin wrapper around the excellent `tippy.js`. The
most common usage will be something like the below:
```hbs preview-template
<span
{{tooltip "Tooltip message"}}
>
Hover over me
</span>
```
A `tabindex=0` is automatically added to the element that triggers the tooltip if it doesn't have one already to make sure the tooltip is in the natural tabbing order of the document.
An additional options hash can be passed into the tooltip the contents of
which are passed along to `tippy.js` [so all of the `tippy.js`
props](https://atomiks.github.io/tippyjs/v5/all-props/) can be used to control
tooltips, including `tippy.js` plugins.
```hbs preview-template
<span
{{tooltip "Tooltip message" options=(hash
showOnCreate=true
hideOnClick=false
placement="bottom"
)}}
>
No need to hover over me
</span>
```
An options hash has been chosen to begin, as and when its clear what common
groups of settings are used throughout the app we can add new properties to
the modifer without the risk of clashing with any `tippy.js` props.
We also have a Tooltip component but this modifier is preferred over that.
