Rename module 'calltips' as 'calltip'

1. 'calltips' and 'windows' are the only two plural module names.
2. 'calltip' fits better with 'calltip_w' (which may, however, be merged
   in 'calltip'.
   Module rename can be checked as with 'window', bpo-33906.

and class CallTips as Calltip.
3. This may be the only plural class name.
4. ToolTip is singular and will be changed to Tooltip in bpo-33839. See the 6/17 and 6/19 messages.
Needed changes in other modules will not necessarily be caught by existing tests. Use grep for 'CallTips'.

I will not change tooltip.py (currently not used or tested) as change here would conflict with current PR for bpo-33839.

I also changed calltips.CallTips to calltip.Calltip, which is the same class name as for calltip_w.Calltip (formerly CallTip). This is confusing now and would block merging the files. Change the latter to calltip_w.CalltipW (for Window).

[terryjreedy]

The calltip window class name is only used in 4 places, so I decided to expand to CalltipWindow.
