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.
