On wayland, tooltips windows currently get shown as a xdg_popup, which is not
designed for tooltips, as it involves compositor grabs, and actually takes the
focus away of the window being tipped about.

I'm attaching a small patch that uses the same trick on popovers than on entry
completion windows, so tooltips are rendered on a subsurface, and act on
wayland as you'd expect.
