UI: Add tooltips for modifiers
When adding a modifier to an object, the drop-down select box has the same mouse-over tooltip for each modifier type: "Add a procedural operation/effect to the active object". This isn't helpful when you don't know what the modifier does from just reading the name. This patch adds descriptions for most modifier types, so that it's clearer what the modifiers do. The text was provided by @werwack after discussion on DevTalk[1] and taken from the Blender Manual, and subsequently updated by @billreynish and @HooglyBoogly. Not all modifiers have a short one-line description in the manual, hence those are still missing in this patch.
