Lauryn Menard 8cb6919c9c help: Add tabbed notes and links for previous mobile features.
For mobile features that were documented and implemented for the legacy
React Native app, adds back a tabbed block for mobile with a note to
use the web app instructions in a mobile device browser, and with a
link to the Flutter GitHub issues tracking implementing the feature in
the new mobile app.

If the feature is a mobile only feature, then adds the link to the
Flutter GitHub issue in a warning note.

## Font configuration for unsupported languages
Zulip uses the Source Sans 3 font, which [supports over 30 languages][adobe-docs].
If Source Sans 3 does not support your language, you may need to configure your
browser to use a different font or adjust the default font size to properly
display all the characters. See the documentation for [Chrome][chrome-docs],
[Firefox][firefox-docs], or [Edge][edge-docs] for more information on how to
configure your browser's default font.
