Backport PR #2662: qtconsole: wrap argument list in tooltip to match width of text body previously, a function with a long argument list would produce a very wide tooltip, hurting readability. Since the width of the docstring body is chosen by the developer whereas the formatting of the argument list is currently not, it's reasonable to wrap the argument list width to the maximum of a) 80 characters, or b) maximum length of a line in the docstring body. This improves readability, without unduly affecting the appearence of the docstring body itself. closes #2661 I'm happy to add any additional tests or make any changes required to get this merged.

Extended version of the Python builtin dir(), which does a few extra
checks, and supports common objects with unusual internals that confuse
dir(), such as Traits and PyCrust.
This version is guaranteed to return only a list of true strings, whereas
dir() returns anything that objects inject into themselves, even if they
are later not really valid for attribute access (many extension libraries
have such bugs).
