Description

The Usability and Design team decided to get rid of the hundreds of help icons in the TYPO3 Backend. instead, the right labels should be underlined (with dots) and act as a tooltip.

For this, a new BEfunc function wrapInHelp wraps the help around a text, which can now be used in all the placed in the core.

Also, the patch removes the option to show fulltext help, help icons or no help, as it is now shown all the time.

Additionally, we make use of it in TCEforms, but the rest of the icons are replaced in a separate RFC. Yes, it's not perfect, as it's a CSS solution right now and hovering over the titles will make it hard to reach the real input field.

Once this is in, the next steps are:
- Make ExtJS tooltips out of this, so we have proper hovering (only show help if hovered over it longer than 200ms)
- Remove as many icons in core as possible and replace it by hovered
