Review request for Plasma.

Description

Improve tooltip layouting

This patch ports the default tooltip away from custom spacing,
positioning and Row/Column to QtQuick.Layouts. It makes the sizing more
predictable, and the code more modern and readable. Tooltips feel to
behave a bit smoother with this patch.

In the process, this...
- fixes spacing when no icon or image is set
- limits the maximum height of the subtext to 8 lines (this prevents the
  klipper tooltip for example from growing super-high)
- Makes the icon on the LHS proportional to the text
- Limits the width a bit more to prevent super-wide tooltips
- makes it use units.gridUnit throughout

Changelog: Improve tooltip layout

This is the more radical approach to https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/122715/
