This is a naive approach to fix #6277
This PR adds a 5-minute timeout that closes the help panel automatically, and is scheduled as soon as some annotation of any type is created by current user, but only if the help panel was auto-displayed in the first place.
When the timeout callback triggers, it not only closes the help panel, but also updates the
show_sidebar_tutorial
profile preference, preventing it to show the next time.There's an edge case, not covered by this PR, which is that, if the timeout is scheduled and the page is reloaded after the callback is executed, the timeout will be re-scheduled from scratch. This is probably negligible, but we could consider tracking the "progress" somehow so that we can continue from there once reloaded.
This PR does not cover animation enhancements described in #6277
