For Info, the tooltip now says "Info file name", but that's
inaccurate, because we show "elisp" when the file name is
"elisp.info", and when the file is "FOO.info.gz" we show "FOO.info"
(which is inconsistent, and is probably an unrelated bug).

Btw, why isn't there a similar explanation in the tooltip for the node
name?
