fix(tooltip): throw a better error when an invalid position is passed (#1986)

* Throws a more informative error message when an invalid position is passed to the tooltip. Previously it would throw something along the lines of `Cannot read property 'originX' of undefined`.
* Moves the various tooltip switch statements to use an enum for easier validation.

Referencing #1959.
