Brief summary

Add tool tip to disabled delete button when user does not have permissions to delete items on issues tab.

Which issue is fixed?

https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/3765

In-depth Description

It's unclear that the permissions to delete an item that has issues require permissions a user may not have. When you visit the issues tab logged in as a user that does not have permissions there is no indication that the user has no permission to delete it just doesn't show the button. It would be helpful to know in that case that the user needs to either log into an account with permissions to delete or contact someone that can delete that item from the library.

Example attached:

How have you tested this?

Regression tested with a user that has permissions to delete:
