Now that the title attribute is properly supported in all recent

We need to change both the link generation in Horde:: and the  
Horde_ToolTip library to no longer change title attributes to  
nicetitle attributes, and to allow developers to explicitely request  
nicetitle attributes (or let's name it "tooltip" while we're at it).
