If we're no longer using FloatingVue now, remove it.

This pull request aims to workaround the "Maximum recursive updates exceeded" error from Floating Vue's
v-tooltipdirective.While there is an open issue on the
floating-vuerepository, it's been open for 1.5 years and the last release was tagged nearly 2 years ago so I'm not confident it'll be fixed soon.Workaround
Inspired by Akryum/floating-vue#1005 (comment), I've created a custom
v-tooltipdirective which works slightly differently to thefloating-vueone.Instead of mounting a component separately per
v-tooltipdirective, we mount theTooltipscomponent once and re-use it. We still use floating-vue'sVTooltipcomponent internally for positioning and animations, but with a single shared instance rather than one per directive. This works around the recursive updates error and may help with performance too.Fixes #13591
