Add tooltips to activity icons on desktop / surface activity type in text when selected #242

From Persa--

"I'm uncertain as to what the final icon on the trail types is -- when I click on it, I get 72 results found. When I click on it again (and it does not change state), I get 18 results found. What am I finding? All trails? The icon is hard to understand."

This can be improved on desktop by adding tooltips to each activity icon/button.

Across the app, we can educate users on what each icon represents---and in the process improve their confidence in their actions---by surfacing a text description of each activity filter that is selected. Something applied to the list results, like --

"Trails for hiking, biking, and wheelchair accessibility"

Great catch! We need to add disabled="disabled" to the input field, to go along with the styles.

We will also add tool tips on the filter icons to give more detail about what they mean for first time users----which we currently do on the detail panel.

Hey @pzula--just fyi I am editing your issue to reflect the provisional solution.
