Help does not appear if using metadata in fields
**Describe the bug**
Hi, it seems, that when the dataclass has metadata defined through `field` (from `simple_parsing`, of course), the help in form of comments does not get picked up.

**To Reproduce**
```python
from simple_parsing import ArgumentParser, field
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class InputArgs:
    # Start date from which to collect data about base users. Input in iso format (YYYY-MM-DD).
    # The date is included in the data
    start_date: str = field(alias="s", metadata={'a':'b'})

    # End date for collecting base users. Input in iso format (YYYY-MM-DD). The date is included in the data.
    # Should not be before `start_date`
    end_date: str = field(alias="e")

def parse_args() -> InputArgs:
    parser = ArgumentParser("Prepare input data for training")
    parser.add_arguments(InputArgs, dest="args")

    args = parser.parse_args()
    return args.args

if __name__ == "__main__":
    parsed_args = parse_args()
    print(parsed_args)
```

`python test.py -h`

## Output
```
usage: Prepare input data for training [-h] -s str -e str

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

InputArgs ['args']:
  InputArgs(start_date: str, end_date: str)

  -s str, --start_date str
  -e str, --end_date str
                        Start date from which to collect data about base
                        users. Input in iso format (YYYY-MM-DD). The date is
                        included in the data End date for collecting base
                        users. Input in iso format (YYYY-MM-DD). The date is
                        included in the data. Should not be before
                        `start_date` (default: None)
```
## Expected output:
```
usage: Prepare input data for training [-h] -s str -e str

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

InputArgs ['args']:
  InputArgs(start_date: str, end_date: str)

  -s str, --start_date str
                        Start date from which to collect data about base
                        users. Input in iso format (YYYY-MM-DD). The date is
                        included in the data (default: None)
  -e str, --end_date str
                        End date for collecting base users. Input in iso
                        format (YYYY-MM-DD). The date is included in the data.
                        Should not be before `start_date` (default: None)
