fix(tooltip): prevent delayed tooltip after target moves - 22.0.x

[viktorkombov]

Closes #17465

Description

Fixes delayed tooltips opening after their target has moved away from the pointer.

This could occur when layout changes—particularly during grid virtualization—move or recycle a target during showDelay without the browser emitting pointerleave. The pending timeout would then open a stale tooltip, sometimes resulting in incorrectly positioned or multiple visible tooltips.

Implementation

For delayed hover interactions, IgxTooltipTargetDirective now:

• Tracks the latest pointer position.
• Uses elementFromPoint() before opening.
• Opens only when the target remains under the pointer.
• Supports targets inside both document and Shadow DOM roots.

The validation is limited to delayed hover interactions. Zero-delay tooltips, focus/click triggers, showTooltip(), and coordinate-less synthetic events preserve their previous behavior.

The fix is contained within the tooltip directive and does not introduce grid-specific handling.

Tests

Added regression coverage verifying that:

• A delayed tooltip remains closed when its target moves away.
• Zero-delay hover interactions are not hit-tested.
• The latest pointer position is used before opening.

Tooltip test suite: 67/67 passing.

Components Affected

Tooltip, including tooltip targets rendered inside virtualized Grid, Tree Grid, and Hierarchical Grid cells.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a tooltip edge case where a delayed hover tooltip could open after its target has moved (e.g., due to Grid virtualization) without a pointerleave, resulting in stale/mispositioned or multiple visible tooltips. The solution adds pointer-position tracking and a hit-test check before opening delayed tooltips, with regression tests to lock the behavior.

Changes:

• Track latest pointer coordinates during delayed hover and validate via elementFromPoint() before opening.
• Support hit-testing both in the document and within Shadow DOM roots (via getRootNode()).
• Add targeted regression tests for moved-target delayed hover, no hit-test for zero-delay, and latest-pointer usage.
