Don't display unnecessary tag vs. crosspost warnings

Title:
Don't display unnecessary tag vs. crosspost warnings

Area:
crossposting, tags, the little things that irk us

Summary:
If there's no chance that a given entry would or could be crossposted, ever, (or if we can't crosspost it), don't warn us that it won't be crossposted when editing tags.

Description:
The edit tags on an entry page (http://www.dreamwidth.org/edittags?journal=username&itemid=####) warns us:

"This will not respect your default crosspost settings. Your crossposted entries will not be updated. If this is important to you, edit this entry directly to add the tags."

This warning is only appropriate in your own personal journal (at least at the moment). It is not currently (or perhaps ever) relevant:

* on your community entry
* on someone else's entry
* on someone else's community entry

Suggested implementation: It looks* like that phrase is part of the edittags.intro string, so if it is, then edittags.intro should probably be split into something like edittags.intro and edittags.crosspost, and then edittags.crosspost only displayed if it's at all possible to crosspost.

Since it appears* that this page is still using BML, this could either be done on its own if someone feels like it, or rolled into the conversion of the page to TT.


* There's a BML error on the page, so I can't be sure, see http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request?id=6107 if you have the curiosity about that. (Two notes, one foot! How about that!)
