Clarify in tooltip what flag button does
The flag button on an annotation has a tooltip that says simply "Flag" (or "Annotation has been flagged" if it's already flagged) but there's no indication to the user what flagging is or does (even when they click the button, all that happens is the flag turns red). "Flagging" can certainly be misinterpreted. I think some apps use it as a way to keep track of "special" or "favorite" items (usually called "starring" in most modern apps), or have a variety of different "flags" that you can apply to an email or whatever it is (important, work, personal, etc, this is usually called "tagging" or "labelling" in most modern apps). This commit changes the tooltips to clarify that what the button does is report the annotation to the moderators. I've used the verb "report" rather than "flag" as I think "Report this annotation to the moderators" sounds better than "Flag this annotation to the moderators". Either way I think "to the moderators" is important to clarify that this button sends a message to the moderators and isn't, for example, just flagging for personal use like starring / tagging / labeling.
