Description of expected behavior and the observed behavior

I think that widgets should have a kwarg that allows tooltips to be set on them - this kwarg could possibly be called title or help. Note that the toolbar buttons have tooltips already.

Originally raised as https://github.com/pyviz/panel/issues/254

Complete, minimal, self-contained example code that reproduces the issue

from bokeh.models.widgets import Button
from bokeh.io import output_notebook, show

output_notebook()

button = Button(label='+', width=30, title='tooltip text')
show(button)

Just noting that this potentially overlaps with possible upcoming CZI grant work (if awarded)
