[popover/tooltip] Support Programmatic Triggers

[joshdmiller]

The upstream JavaScript version supports trigger="manual" to allow for programmatic triggering.

Make isOpen a = instead of a &

Let people set the value in addition to read from it.

Thinking about dialogs / tooltips / popovers - maybe it would be a good idea to have a $tooltip / $popover service (as we've got the $dialog one) so people can trigger popovers / tooltips as they like. Basically give people a way to control popovers / tooltips programatically. WDYT?

I think tool tips are far too contextual to the DOM to be triggered purely
programmatically. However I think you should be able to specify an
expression to watch as an attribute and drop the click-specific code. This
way someone can bind to a click (or prevent the hover tooltip from being
enabled) but if later on wants other code to trigger the tooltip he doesn't
have to change anything.

I agree with @ProLoser - for example using a popover to indicate invalid content entered into a form field - if the field was marked as invalid, the popover would display, disappearing when valid input was entered.

Just wanted to connect this issue to:
#618

I think there is a use case for showing only one popover at a time (using tooltips with mouseenter and mouseleave is not touch friendly and would not work well on tablets). Opening a single popover and dismissing it by touching/clicking elsewhere in the body would work well for tablets and phones. I have posted some code at 618 which can be used to accomplish this.

Cheers.

Has this been addressed with the $tooltipService? I see a mention on the docs, but it's usage isn't clear to me.
