allow custom element properties, same as core checkboxes/radios [#2780001]

There's a little-known feature with core checkboxes and radios: you can set descriptions on the individual elements. (See #2779999: Document checkboxes and radios element can have individual descriptions for details.)

This ought to be possible here too. All it takes is for the processing not to clobber what might be there already when it creates the subelements.

Patch coming.

This allows:

        $element['select']['normal option']['#description'] = 'description on a normal option checkbox/radios';
        $element['select']['select_or_other']['#description'] = 'description on the "other" checkbox/radio';
        $element['other']['#description'] = 'description on the "other" textfield';
