Subject: [PATCH] Alerting: Improving group modal with validation on evaluation
 interval (#57830)

* Show rules list for the group with the For duration, and add validation for keeping all rules in the same group with a valid For

* Sort rules by For duration

* Add number evaluations column in alert list

* Add Error badge in column #evaluations in case of invalid For

* Add test for getNumberEvaluationsToStartAlerting method

* Move re-usable new InfoIcon component into a separate file in unified components folder

* Add edge case for getNumberEvaluationsToStartAlerting method, and change some namings
