As part of a larger initiative from the Django a11y team, we're trying to
remove or replace uses of the `title` attribute which is not accessible.
The "Go" button has a "Run selected action" title; we think that this can
be removed and simply rename the button to "Run". Interestingly enough,
other languages are already using words that are more equivalent to "Run"
rather than "Go". This [https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/new-pattern-
needed-for-django-admin-tooltips/28028/7 comment in the forum] explains
our reasoning in more detail.
