FLUID-4071: Sorted column should drive the text in Pager tooltips

Description

The page navigation links always display tooltips using data from the first column, and not the column being used to sort.

Example:

• load http://build.fluidproject.org/infusion/demos/pager/demo.html
• sort by email
• hover over page 2 link.
• tooltip reads "Arturo Hayhurst | Brendan Anagnos" but it should be "arturo.hayhurst@local.host | brendan.anagnos@local.host"

  This happens on Chrome, IE7, IE8, FF3.6 on Win XP as well.

  To clarify why tooltips should be implemented this way, here's an example:
  Page 1 has the following data in Name and Email columns: Alex a@foo.com, Betsy b@foo.com, Carlos amazing@foo.com

  Now:

  • sort by email
  • Page 1 will be ordered: Alex a@foo.com, Carlos amazing@foo.com, Betsy b@foo.com,
  • the tooltip for page 1 will be: "Alex | Betsy"

  This is misleading because the tooltip implies there are only results from Alex to Betsy inclusive. But when you visit Page 1, it actually includes Carlos which doesn't fit the pattern.

  Worse case scenario is if a user has a lot of data and is looking for one particular result, the user may never find that record if using the tooltips alone.

  So the only way to ensure that the tooltips are accurate is to display tooltips based on the sort column.

  Merged into trunk at revision acf4633. This facility is now present using the new boolean-valued option "annotateSortedColumn"
