README: included 'Other uses' section

Vicious modules can be resued for other objects, like awful tooltips
or naughty notifications. We call a module directly and manipulate the
result until we have some nice output to display. For example, a wifi
widget could be a progressbar with the signal level, but on mouse
enter a tooltip is created with ssid/mode/channel information.

you want to populate an awful tooltip or a naughty notification? Call
