 /**
  * Generates a hint tag for the given model attribute.
  * The hint text is the hint associated with the attribute, obtained via [[Model::getAttributeHint()]].
  * If no hint content can be obtained, method will return an empty string.
  * @param Model $model the model object
  * @param string $attribute the attribute name or expression. See [[getAttributeName()]] for the format
  * about attribute expression.
  * @param array $options the tag options in terms of name-value pairs. These will be rendered as
  * the attributes of the resulting tag. The values will be HTML-encoded using [[encode()]].
  * If a value is null, the corresponding attribute will not be rendered.
  * The following options are specially handled:
  *
  * - hint: this specifies the hint to be displayed. Note that this will NOT be [[encode()|encoded]].
  *   If this is not set, [[Model::getAttributeHint()]] will be called to get the hint for display
  *   (without encoding).
  *
  * See [[renderTagAttributes()]] for details on how attributes are being rendered.
  *
  * @return string the generated hint tag
  * @since 2.0.4
