Tooltip is interfering with mouseEntered/mouseExited events

[Pavel Safrata]

Hello,
not having any strong opinion on the desired behavior or needed API, 
here are a few comments to the current state:

* Tooltip is a Window, so you should be able to call tooltip.getScene() 
or tooltip.getScene().getRoot() and watch for mouse events/hover state there
* Tooltip is a Window so a click-through tooltip is not possible right 
now. We can talk about hooking its handlers to the owner control 
handlers somehow.
* If you move the mouse to a tooltip, the owner control gets MouseExited 
event and hides the popup (which will be the case unless we introduce a 
"mouse transparent window"). So there doesn't seem to be much point in 
handling mouse events on the tooltip. The reason why the tooltip is not 
hidden immediately after it pops under the mouse is that there is a 
weird piece of code there that ignores MouseExited events with the same 
coordinates as the previous mouse event had. This looks like a 
workaround, and a wrong one, because the control can move out from a 
not-moving cursor. I'm going to file a bug against that.
