Add help messages for all popup help buttons

[Copilot]

Many JSP pages in TreeBASE have help buttons (openHelp('tag')) but no corresponding help text exists in the database, resulting in users seeing "Missing help message".

Changes

• Added SQL migration patch 0008_add-help-messages.sql to insert help text for all ~60 help popup tags found across the application

The help messages cover all areas of the application:

• User registration (userForm)
• Submission management (submissionList, studyForm, submissionSummaryView)
• File upload (uploadFile, nexusFiles)
• Citation forms (citationForm, citationForm-article, citationForm-book, citationForm-booksection)
• Data management (matrixList, treeList, treeBlockList, taxonLabels)
• Analysis workflow (analysisSection, analysisInfo, analysisSteps, analysisStepInfo, analyzedDataList, analyzedDataTypeSelection, analyzedDataMatrixSelection, analyzedTreeSelection, analyzedTreeBlockSelection)
• People management (peopleForm, addPersonForm, peopleList, peopleSearchForm, peopleMatchList)
• Matrix row segments (matrixRowList, matrixRowSegmentList, matrixRowSegmentForm, rowSegmentDataTable, viewAllRowSegmentData, uploadRowSegmentData)
• Taxon label editing (editTaxonLabel, editTaxonomyRef, editSetTaxonLabel)
• Search functionality (searchTabs, summaryTabs, studyKeywordSearchForm, treeSimpleSearchForm, matrixSimpleSearchForm, taxonSearchIdentifiers, taxonSearchTextSearch, taxonSearchTerms, treeTopology3SearchForm, treeTopology4aSearchForm, treeTopology4sSearchForm)
• Search results controls (discard buttons, download trees button)
• Admin features (searchBySubmissionID, dryadImport)

Each help message provides context-appropriate guidance for the specific page or feature.

Original prompt

Missing help message for info popup userForm when registering. This popup should have a help message telling prospective users to enter, at least, a user name, an email address, and a password (repeated to avoid mistyping).

@copilot go through all JSP files and look for similar popups. For each of them, generate an appropriate help message given the page context and add it to the SQL file so that we load all help messages.
