Make library tooltips separately disableable

[Sean M. Pappalardo]

The GUI tooltips are annoying for experienced Mixxx users, so I'd like to turn them off. But when I do, they take the Library tooltips (that show the whole field) with them! These should be enabled separately (or always on.)

This is pretty easy -- the tooltip preference is enforced by MixxxApp::eventFilter. If a dynamic_cast to WWidget works then enforce the setting. Otherwise don't.

Great! Point me to where to make the change because this drives me nuts! :)

A patch adding another option for tooltips (On - only in Library).
It also removes the need of a restarting when changing tooltips options by creating a member variable of mixxxapp holding that value and changing only after a signal emitted from the tooltips combobox. I don't think it has an impact somewhere, but maybe I 'm wrong.

Thanks mutil,
the tooltip switching works fine now even without restarting Mixxx.
I use it for weeks now and could not detect any negative effects.

It works fine for the library only except the browse feature, but thats another thing lp:917840
