Improve the explanation of why shared runners are disabled
Release notes
When shared runners are disabled for a parent group, we provide a helpful tooltip for it's sub-groups and projects, so users are aware that shared runners are disabled because they are disabled at the parent group. To improve visibility and navigation, we will link to the parent group of where those settings can be updated so shared runners are available for that sub-group or project.
Problem to solve
When shared runners are disabled for a parent group, we provide a helpful tooltip for it's sub-groups and projects, so users are aware that shared runners are disabled because they are disabled at the parent group. We do not provide the name of the parent group, so it often takes more clicks to navigate back and find where to update the settings.
Proposal
