P2 Badge Guard the tooltip reset independently

When a user already has any text-shadow: none in their copied Waybar stylesheet (for example from a local module-specific tweak), this whole migration is skipped before adding the new tooltip * override. The default fix relies on the tooltip-specific selector to beat inherited GTK tooltip styling, so those users keep the doubled tooltip text even though the migration is recorded as applied; check for the tooltip rule itself or insert the missing rules independently.
