tooltip-mode docstring


From: Luc Teirlinck
Subject: tooltip-mode docstring

The docstring of tooltip-mode does not seem very helpful.  It
misleadingly suggests that if you disable it, you do not get to see
any help-text on mouse-over, whereas tooltip-mode only determines
_where_ you see that thext rather than _whether_ you see it.

Unless there are objections, I plan to install the following doc fix:
