Fixes #1259: below an object's name, its hover tip shows:

its description and owner (the group, for group-owned objects);
what it does (Script, Physics, Touch, L$, Drop Inventory, Phantom, Temporary);
its prims and land impact;
its position and distance.

On by default; Preferences > Advanced > "Show owner, description and details in object tips" turns it off. RLVa @shownames and @showloc are respected. An owner name still loading fills in while the mouse rests. It reuses main's existing tooltip strings.

Tested in-world.

#1259 Object hover tips: owner, description and details 56c77e25f8

Below an object's name its hover tip now shows the description, the owner (a group-owned
object's group; RLVa @shownames gives the anonym), what it does (Script, Physics, Touch, L$,
Drop Inventory, Phantom, Temporary; touch / pay also from the root), its prims and land
impact, position (hidden by RLVa @showloc) and distance. An owner name still loading fills in
on its own: the tip is rebuilt while the mouse rests.

On by default; Preferences > Advanced > "Show owner, description and details in object tips"
turns it off. The linkset is counted from the hovered object's root (seated avatars excluded),
its land impact is the root's linkset cost.
