Figured that for all the button.el help-echo noodling, it would not hurt
to give a shot to the most-requested suggestions in this report: show a
warning sign *for presentation only*, and use an explicit plain text
button for suppression.

Attaching the result (patch & screenshot).  OT1H it feels like there is
room for further refinement¹, OTOH I prefer to send that iteration first
before building castles in the air.


¹ Integration with warning-prefix-function, varying faces with warning
levels, figuring out what the deal is with invoking 'newline instead of
inserting "\n" directly, using define-button-type & insert-button which
I just learned about…
