Chris Hill-Scott 3fa0e3aa66 Give more guidance about what to put in templates
There are some common questions that keep coming up when users are
editing or creating templates. This commit adds a pattern for sections
of guidance which can be shown/hidden.

It then modifies the guidance as follows.

Change:

- guidance about placeholders; give an example about what to do and what
  not to do (because the mistake we keep seeing people make is putting
  the thing itself, not the name of the thing)

Add (pretty basic at the moment but a need for these has come out of
research):

- guidance about links
- guidance about message length for text messages
