Normally it's trivial to add help-echo messages to widgets.  However,
Gnus uses widget by retrofitting them into the old way of doing
things.  Specifically, the signature separator is buttonized by
calling `gnus-article-add-button', and there's no way to pass a
`:help-echo' argument to that.

Also, gnus-article-add-button stores its DATA argument to text
properties instead of directly to the widget, etc.

Fixing this correctly would require a rework of
gnus-article-add-button to accept other keywords to pass to
widget-convert.  I could take a shot at that, if Lars agrees.
