-----------------------------------------+------------------------
The generated title for admin filters when the field is on a related model
is often times confusing and not usable since it will be the name of the
field without any reference to the fact that it's on a related model
instead of the main model. When the field has the same name as a field on
the main model it appears as a duplicate as far as the user can tell.
This patch expands the existing tuple pattern for a `list_filter` item to
allow the second parameter to be a string which will be used as the title,
instead of only allowing a class inheriting from `FieldListFilter`. This
dove-tails nicely with the existing functionality as providing a subclass
of `FieldListFilter` allows you to easily provide a title on the class
itself, but the ability to provide just a string to use as a title removes
the need to subclass the correct class choice for the field type (which is
fragile) and streamlines the process for when you only want to change the
title.
