Release editor: add documentation bubbles for extra fields

      At present, we have documentation for:

      title: guess case, etc.
      artist: the detailed artist credit bubble
      packaging: packaging types list documentation
      barcode: what to do about none, validation
      annotation: explain what it is, that it has wiki-like syntax
      disambiguation: explain what it is, what stuff should actually go in the annotation

      I'd propose we add some more, perhaps including some of:
      language, script: these are only for the tracklist, which is a frequent source of confusion for folks
      status: pseudo-release is rather... unknown, and I'm sure we can do better for the rest too
      country: I'm sure we can find something useful to talk about here with respect to digital releases, and those released in multiple countries
      label: note that labels are imprints, link documentation on how to determine the appropriate label. perhaps also something about catalog number formatting? unsure
      type: I'm sure we can at least link some documentation here (do we have anything about common combinations of types and what they mean?)
