Prevent button.el from clearing help-echo strings

In order to fix one of the issues discussed in bug#61413, i.e.
'buttonize' clobbering the help-echo property set by
'icon-string'.

This is a reasonable interpretation of the button.el
docstrings - "if HELP-ECHO, use that as the `help-echo'
property"; conversely, if not HELP-ECHO, then do not do
anything, preserving existing values for that property.

* lisp/button.el (button--properties): Only add a help-echo
property if HELP-ECHO is non-nil.  Add an additional property
for bookkeeping.
(unbuttonize-region): Check for that bookkeeping property
before clearing help-echo.
* test/lisp/button-tests.el (button--preserve-help-echo):
Validate these changes.
