Flagging commits via Herald no longer generates flag note

Description

I have personal Herald rule setup, that flags all commits that touch certain files. Before last update the created flag had Flagged by Herald Rule "{Herald Rule Name}". note. Right now note is empty.

The change was made as part of T8726 task, but I'm not sure if removing flag note was done on purpose (task doesn't mention that) or by accident.

I removed this because the implementation was pretty hacky (saved the rule as a text string, wasn't translatable).

To restore it, we should do this:

  • Add a reasonPHID or similar to PhabricatorFlag. Normally this is null.
  • When Herald adds a flag, store the Herald rule PHID in reasonPHID.
  • In the UI, show information about why a flag was added if reasonPHID is not null (e.g., "Added by H23 Some Rule Name").

This is translatable, will still work correctly if the rule name changes, can link to the rule, and could be searched for in the future (though I don't think we need to implement this now).
