Background
The apps team has heard feedback that the "Explore" naming of the feed is confusing, especially when navigating back to Explore from an article. The Explore tab essentially functions as a "Home" tab, which is more common across other apps.
User Story
As a mobile app user, I want the "Explore" tab to be renamed to "Home," So that I can intuitively navigate back to the main feed after reading an article, using familiar navigation patterns I recognize from other apps.
Requirements
- Update the explore feed icon and label in the tabbar to "Home"
- Tapping "Home" in the tab bar should to jump the user to to the top of the feeed
- In "Home", Tapping the W icon in the top left should jump users to the top of the feed
- Tapping the "W" while on the Home feed should jump users to the top of whichever feed they're viewing ("Community" or For you", but should not affect the other feed). No content should be behind the W icon
- Provide clear context within the translation instructions to volunteers
- Update the settings screen to utilize "Home" instead of "Explore"
- Accessibility labels and screen reader text are updated to reflect the new name
- The updated label is reflected in any in-app references, tooltips, or onboarding copy that mention "Explore"
- Remove the W tooltip from Article

Note: Since the other requests are copy updates, I expect they can be handled in code without design work. Please let me know if you need mockups for anything else.

Toni Handoff Notes
Based on progress at PR https://github.com/wikimedia/wikipedia-ios/pull/5995
Icon and tab bar label should already update when feature flag is toggled on.
