If a CellLabelProvider/ColumnLabelProvider is defined for the table viewer/column the CellLabelProvider#getToolTipText() have to be used for table cell tooltip.

TableViewer cell tooltips implementation.

To enable the tooltips:
1. Use viewer.getTable().setData( Table.ENABLE_CELL_TOOLTIP, Boolean.TRUE ); when viewer is created. If this is not set on the table, the cell tooltips are disabled.
2. Use TableViewer#setLabelProvider() or TableViewerColumn#setLabelProvider() with CellLabelProvider.
3. The cell tooltip text is taken from CellLabelProvider#getToolTipText()

Small thing I noticed: TableLCA#writeCellToolTipText does not escape the tooltip text (WidgetLCAUtil#escapeText). Furthermore we should use the WidgetLCAUtil#replaceNewLines for replacing the new lines.
