Options page

In the Options -> Editor -> Hints -> Findbugs page there is a tree of all detectors.

The tree is built after standard FindBugs detectors plus all detectors included in the custom plugins (when specified).

In the overall detectors list is not clear to which plugin belongs any detector.

It would be nice to have 

* the name of the custom plugin added to the detector name in the detectors tree
* the name of the custom plugin in the detector description area 
* the detector id and not only the detector title in the description area

One example using the detector LO_APPENDED_STRING_IN_FORMAT_STRING from FBContrib plugin.

The attached images shows the AS-IS status.

In the "options" image, it is not clear this detector is coming from the FB Contrib plugin. There is also no detector title and ID

In the "inspector" image we do not have the detector id (but with the its title).

By the way the link on the title points to the FindBugs detectors list EVEN IF the detector is from a plugin. In the example, the link should point to the plugin detector page.
