[MonoDevelop] Tool tips not showing in MD 3.0.4 for F# language

We updated the F# binding to MD 3.0.4

However, there was one surprising problem: tooltips were not working with
MD 3.0.4. I think this is due to this change in LanguageItemWindow.cs??



https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/commit/4a95275cf7d0418250d87844550934b849b1153d



which commented out the call through CreateTooltip.

Any idea why this was done? The tooltips reappeared when we re-implemented
the GTk window and formatted the tooltip, see the workarounds at
https://github.com/funnelweb/fsharpbinding/commit/879dc7d8dbcdd6f674413c88b05d1ec7e3500abd

There was also a surprising breaking API change between 3.0.3 and 3.0.4
which was a bit painful - it would be great to avoid breaking binary API
changes between minor point releases.
