Explain content settings pattern syntax

Project Member Reported by dullweber@chromium.org, Sep 12 
The only way to learn about the content settings pattern syntax seems to be to look at the code that implements it. (https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/content_settings/core/common/content_settings_pattern.h?l=168&rcl=260d4608eb584984dd073c8a2a7d4dac2a0058f6)

We should add a way to explain this to interested users e.g. in some kind of tooltip or a help center article.

There is a confused user here: https://superuser.com/questions/1352877/what-is-google-chromes-block-allow-pattern-syntax
And it looks like we did describe it in the help center article in the past:

FWIW, there is also a confused user _here_, sitting in this very chair that I am sitting in while typing this comment right now. Because it's me. :)

We should also include a link to this documentation when it exists in policy_templates.json for the policies that use content settings patterns.
