Subject: [PATCH] feat(reports): explain tracker presence vs activity on report
 pages

Adds an info icon next to the trackers count on report details pages.
Its tooltip explains that trackers are detected by static analysis of
the application code and that their presence does not mean they are
active, with a link to the FAQ section on the topic. Closes #638
