Add help tabs to provide informations about plugin & themes auto-updates

[audrasjb]

Now #50052 (plugin and theme auto-updates) is merged into core, let's add some help tabs that explain what auto-updates are and how the UI works.

The text in the tab should be pretty short, probably with a link to a (yet to be written) article on HelpHub.

Among other things, it should mention that what is displayed in the UI is not 100% guaranteed to be what happens when WP_Automatic_Updater actually runs.

For reference, this the original issue on GitHub: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wp-autoupdates/issues/105

…and the related pull request, which is already merged into WP Auto-updates plugin: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wp-autoupdates/pull/121

Upgrade/Install: Add help tabs related to auto-updates UI

[garrett-eclipse]

Instead of "Auto-updates schedule depends on WordPress planned tasks."
How about "Auto-updates depends on the WP-Cron task scheduling system."
Just to be clear it's using Cron and it's easier to find information on scheduled task than planned task so don't feel that phrasing is very common.

My suggested adjustments.

"....third-parties plugins or custom code." adjust to third-party plugins or custom code.

Auto-updates can be enabled and disabled on a theme by theme basis.
Auto-updates can be enabled and disabled on a plugin by plugin basis.

=

Auto-updates can be enabled and disabled for each individual theme.
Auto-updates can be enabled and disabled for each individual plugin.

And mine:

"You can choose to enable or disable auto-updates on each theme. Each theme with with auto-updates enabled will show the next scheduled auto-update, based on published timelines.

Please note: Third-party themes and plugins, or custom code, may override WordPress scheduling.

Learn more: Auto-updates documentation"
