Remove all button tooltips #259

All buttons should either have or not have tooltips.

All tooltips should be removed per @jhain

After reviewing this issue, the only tooltips that exist are on the "move" and "clone" buttons in show-resource view, and they provide useful information that is hard to present any other way. The "move" tooltip tells the user that child resources will be moved as well, and the "clone" tooltip tells the user what exactly is going to be cloned (properties and assessment data but not children).

As far as accessibility is concerned, this is really the way the "title" attribute (which is generating the tooltips) is supposed to be used, and we shouldn't think of it as an inconsistency in the sense of some buttons having tooltips or not, but merely a convenient way of providing additional information for two relatively ambiguous functions.

I can still do this -- it will take 5 minutes -- but I wanted to get my concern on the record first. (I know I didn't say anything when it was brought up.)
