SUMMARY
Hover over menu will loop on and off for hidden tray icons when taskbar alignment is 'left' and width is 'fit content'. Image showing this setup is attached

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. For the taskbar Panel Settings, set alignment to 'left' and width to 'fit content' such that the system tray is close-ish to the left of the screen.
2. In the system tray, expand the hidden icons and hover the mouse cursor over a leftmost icon.
3. Once a hover over menu appears, move the mouse to be over both the icon and the menu. In some cases the hover over menu will cover the entire icon.

OBSERVED RESULT
The hover over menu will flash on and off repeatedly.

EXPECTED RESULT
The hover over menu will remain constantly on.

applets/systemtray: stop overriding delegates' tooltip locations

In Plasma 5, this was done to work around some positioning bugs in
PlasmaCore.ToolTipArea. However these have since been fixed, and
overriding the position now causes new bugs, such as the tooltip
appearing under the mouse pointer and appearing and disappearing in a
loop, which is quite hilarious.

Removing this code causes the tooltip to appear below the delegate,
which is fine.
