Tooltips: Improve code clarity and docs

The return type for `_make_custom_tooltip` is clarified as Control, and users
should make sure to return a visible node for proper size calculations.

Moreover in the current master branch, a PopupPanel will be added as parent
to the provided tooltip to make it a sub-window.

Clarifies documentation for `Control._make_custom_tooltip`, and shows how to
use the (until now undocumented) "TooltipPanel" and "TooltipLabel" theme types
to style tooltips.

Fixes #39677.

<description>
Virtual method to be implemented by the user. Returns a [Control] node that should be used as a tooltip instead of the default one. Use [code]for_text[/code] parameter to determine what text the tooltip should contain (likely the contents of [member hint_tooltip]).
The returned node must be of type [Control] or Control-derieved. It can have child nodes of any type. It is freed when the tooltip disappears, so make sure you always provide a new instance, not e.g. a node from scene. When [code]null[/code] or non-Control node is returned, the default tooltip will be used instead.
Virtual method to be implemented by the user. Returns a [Control] node that should be used as a tooltip instead of the default one. The [code]for_text[/code] includes the contents of the [member hint_tooltip] property.
The returned node must be of type [Control] or Control-derived. It can have child nodes of any type. It is freed when the tooltip disappears, so make sure you always provide a new instance (if you want to use a pre-existing node from your scene tree, you can duplicate it and pass the duplicated instance).When [code]null[/code] or a non-Control node is returned, the default tooltip will be used instead.
The returned node will be added as child to a [PopupPanel], so you should only provide the contents of that panel. That [PopupPanel] can be themed using [method Theme.set_stylebox] for the type [code]"TooltipPanel"[/code] (see [member hint_tooltip] for an example).
[b]Note:[/b] The tooltip is shrunk to minimal size. If you want to ensure it's fully visible, you might want to set its [member rect_min_size] to some non-zero value.
Example of usage with custom-constructed node:
[b]Note:[/b] The node (and any relevant children) should be [member CanvasItem.visible] when returned, otherwise the viewport that instantiates it will not be able to calculate its minimum size reliably.

Changes the tooltip text. The tooltip appears when the user's mouse cursor stays idle over this control for a few moments, provided that the [member mouse_filter] property is not [constant MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE]. You can change the time required for the tooltip to appear with [code]gui/timers/tooltip_delay_sec[/code] option in Project Settings.
The tooltip popup will use either a default implementation, or a custom one that you can provide by overriding [method _make_custom_tooltip]. The default tooltip includes a [PopupPanel] and [Label] whose theme properties can be customized using [Theme] methods with the [code]"TooltipPanel"[/code] and [code]"TooltipLabel"[/code] respectively. For example:
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
var style_box = StyleBoxFlat.new()
style_box.set_bg_color(Color(1, 1, 0))
style_box.set_border_width_all(2)
# We assume here that the `theme` property has been assigned a custom Theme beforehand.
theme.set_stylebox("panel", "TooltipPanel", style_box)
theme.set_color("font_color", "TooltipLabel", Color(0, 1, 1))
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
var styleBox = new StyleBoxFlat();
styleBox.SetBgColor(new Color(1, 1, 0));
styleBox.SetBorderWidthAll(2);
// We assume here that the `Theme` property has been assigned a custom Theme beforehand.
Theme.SetStyleBox("panel", "TooltipPanel", styleBox);
Theme.SetColor("font_color", "TooltipLabel", new Color(0, 1, 1));
