API enhancement for 2.8.0

[Andrew Victor]

hi,

I've committed a version of this patch to im.pidgin.pidgin.next.major for now.
Changes:
 * move 'tooltip' field to end of struct.
 * remove the "if (tooltip != NULL)" checks since they're not necessary.
 * wrap GTK tooltip calls in "#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2,12,0)" checks.

Regards,
 Andrew Victor
