Show radar circuit signals in radar tooltip

When a player hovers over a radar, I suggest the tooltip on the right display signals currently on the radar circuit network for that surface.

With 2.0, circuit signals can be read in item GUIs, so it's no longer necessary to hook a circuit network up to an electric pole to see what signals are being carried. This, along with so many other QoL improvements give 2.0 a much more polished feel, and hacks like the electric pole are no longer part of the flow.

The radar, however, doesn't have a GUI to display the signals, and it stands out as oddly non-compliant now.

Also, now that we can manage everything from map view, it's odd we can't see what's on the radar network.

Yeah, this seems like missing info, that's needed to effectively use radars for long-distance circuits. (I'd have reported it as a bug, but maybe the devs would disagree. :lol: )
