Describe the bug

According to Section 508, technologies such as DSpace "shall provide features making its use by individuals with limited cognitive, language, and learning abilities simpler and easier".

This can be done in several ways. One way to achieve this is by providing tooltips. This was already implemented on the "Edit group" pages: here, users have the ability to toggle context help on/off.

It would be great to implement this feature site-wide, in order to make the different labels and features of DSpace more understandable to those who have limited cognitive, language, and learning abilities.

Note: it is important to make these tooltips readable to screen readers.
