#9117: Spam queue doesn't distinguish between filter sources

1. On the Settings / Discussion tab, go to the Comment Blacklist box, and
add the string "the".
2. Post a comment containing the word "the". It will be caught as spam.
3. Visit the Comments / Spam tab. Your comment is there, but there is
nothing to indicate whether it was caught by the Comment Blacklist, or by
Akismet, or by another spam filter.
Result: neither the user nor WordPress knows how to prevent that comment
from being caught in future. Many users will forget about the Blacklist
feature and assume their spam filter plugin is faulty.
Suggested fix: comments caught as spam should record the reason. This
should be displayed to the user, and used internally by spam filter
plugins to decide how to handle false positives.
