Add description for each entity, which shows in the GUI when you hover over the name

When Friendly Name is not enough to describe an entity it would be good to have a ‘description’ attribute which is made visible to the user when they hover over the name of the entity in Lovelace. For example when I hold the mouse over Target Temperature it could have a pop up that says ‘Sets the target temperature of the Nest thermostat in degrees, will only be taken into account when not in ECO mode’.

I really want something like this to document my HA extensions without the users having to read the manual for each switch/number setting
