no translated tooltips for custom buttons

[Daniel Schürmann]

In current Mixxx, we have TooltipIds for fixed combination of CO connections.
It would be nice if the skinner has access to the already spitted Tooltip strings.
This way, it will be able to compose translated tooltips for generic skin mappings.

I just found myself in the situation, where the hardcoded tooltips dictate the layout of the controls in the UI.

E.g. if you are about to add a beatgrid-edit container to the UI, where all beatgrid/BPM related controls are packed into one section, you find yourself not able to do so correctly because of the tooltips.

Just an example:
Currently, the "beats_translate_match_alignment" control is right-click hardcoded to the "beats_translate_curpos" control.

A different one:
"end" is right-click hardcoded to "fwd".

A lot of the right-click assignment can considered to be of historical value.

Another point is, that we basically have to maintain two tooltip databases, one in tooltip.cpp and one in controllerpickermenu.cpp. They should be merged and cleaned in the medium term.

If there is nothing against the merge of the existing PR (see #1) we should do it.
It can provide real value for the skinning process.

Not going to happen for v2.0

Due to lack of progress, marking Triaged and clearing assignee. Feel free to revert if it is in fact still in progress :).
