Comment:

 I did some investigation on this, and apparently r10974 is a workaround,
 not a fix. Fact is that this popup is not something that Google displays.
 It is that our logic for moving attribution and logo to the container does
 not work any more, because the popup was added as hidden element as last
 child of the google map div, and we made it visible by messing with
 style.display.

 The attached patch moves this hidden element (if available, i.e. if using
 a new v3 api that has it) to the container without modifying it. The
 copyright is also no longer switched between hidden and visible, because
 we move it to an invisible position (-9999px) anyway.

 Another positive side effect of this patch is that the PoweredBy logo is
 clickable again - this was also broken because of this new hidden popup.

 Because Google now also sets the position of the copyright and logo using
 element styles, we need to use {{{!important}}} in our css. So this patch
 also fixes the css, and modifies google.css to use the correct original
 positions for v3.

 Tests still pass. Thanks for any review.
