Improve error when flagging when logged out
Improve the error message that's shown to the user when trying to flag an annotation while logged out. Instead of showing a "404 Not Found. Either the resource you requested doesn't exist, or you are not currently authorized to see it." error from the server, show a friendlier "You must be logged in to report an annotation" message. This is done client-side by checking whether the user is logged in when they click the flag button, and if not showing an error instead of sending the flag request to the API. This is because the API doesn't respond with a unique "You must be logged in to flag" error that the client could depend on, it just returns a 404, which could be for a number of reasons (e.g. the annotation no longer exists).
