Summary:                    Unable to display "%" as the last character in
tooltip using "SetTooltipLabelFormat"
Description: 
e.g.:

plot->SetTooltipLabelFormat("%l: %x, %y%")

In the above case, the % character at the end of the format string is not
displayed as when it is readed, it is considered escape char.  On the other
hand, since this is the last char, it didn't get a chance to be added back to
the output string.

Proposed fix:

Add

  if (escapeNext)
    tooltipLabel += "%"

before

  return tooltipLabel;

inside vtkPlot::GetTooltipLabel(...)
