In Outliner "Orphaned Data" view, combine the user count and icon and
change the tooltips to better explain the item status and actions.


The listing in "Orphaned Data" has always looked a bit odd to me. The two columns show information that is redundant in that you can only ever see "0" and empty shield, or "1" and protected shield, so there is no real need to show two columns. Additionally the "user count" and "fake user" columns are not well coupled, in that there isn't a clear explanation of how the two are related, even though they are. The tooltips use "data-block" and "fake user" when these things could be described without Blender-specific lingo. And we have one column that is inactive, while the other is active, but there is no indication that clicking on the second column (only) performs an action.

This is how it currently looks, top while hovering over an item with no users, the bottom over an item with "fake user":

This PR changes the view as illustrated below. The user count and shield are combined into one and the tooltips changed:
