Restore the #theme_options feature for custom fields

Problem/Motivation

Label Help's README describes a way to add label help programmatically via custom code.

This was a holdover of something that worked in Drupal 7, but the code samples in the README do not actually work in the 8.x or 2.x branches of this module.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Drupal 10.
2. Install Label Help.
3. Create a custom module with the following code:


/**
 * Implements hook_form_alter().
 */
function MODULE_NAME_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  // Add label_help to an existing field, like the Node Title field.
  if (isset($form['title'])) {
    $form['title']['#theme_options']['description at top'] = t('Label help message for the Title field.');
  }
}

4. Load /node/add/article page.

Proposed resolution

Instead of $element['#theme_options']['description at top'], support $element['#label_help'] to self-document the raison d'etre.
