Detailed description

A user has pointed out that seeing the pointer ("hand") icon when he hovers over a TooltipDefinition component led him to think the text was a link (or was otherwise clickable). Since that's not generally the case (unless the component surrounds or is surrounded by a link or button), it probably should use some other cursor (the user suggested the "help" cursor, but I think just leaving it as the default cursor would be fine). The same issue affects the TooltipIcon component.

Is this issue related to a specific component?
TooltipDefinition and TooltipIcon

What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? What would you like to
see changed?
Change the cursor to the default, or the help cursor when hovering over these components.

What browser are you working in?
Chrome

What version of the Carbon Design System are you using?
"carbon-components": "10.29.0",
"carbon-components-react": "7.29.0"

What offering/product do you work on? Any pressing ship or release dates we
should be aware of?
IBM Call Home Connect Cloud. No pressing ship/release dates.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Go to https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/components/tooltip/usage/
  2. Choose the Tooltip Icon or Tooltip Definition variants.
  3. Hover your mouse over the trigger component.
  4. Note that the mouse cursor is the pointer ("hand"), indicating that the item is clickable. But clicking the item does nothing.

(Note that this is not applicable for the "interactive" Tooltip component, which the user must click action to display the tooltip.)
