Improve descriptions of star and polygon tools

[SUMATORIO]

Inuse Windows 10, Inkscape0.92.1 Spanish version.

When you put the mouse over icon star at the bar control star a textbox appear and say:

"Estrella en vez de polígono normal(con un tirador)" and must say:

"Estrella en vez de polígono normal(con dos tiradores)".

I tried the the new version 0.92.2 pre0(973e216, 2017-07-25) and the mistake is the same.

It's a minor mistake.

I think this might be "by design". The English strings read:
- "Regular polygon (with one handle) instead of a star"
- "Star instead of a regular polygon (with one handle)"

I guess "regular polygon (with one handle)" was meant as an atomic entity here, so if we want to change it, we should probably start with the English translation and do something like
- "Regular polygon (with one handle) instead of a star"
- "Star (with two handles) instead of a regular polygon"

Then we might even think about dropping the unnecessary half sentence and try to describe the actual function better:
- "Regular polygon (with one handle to position corners)"
- "Star (with two handles to set position and length of points)"

Since we're in string freeze for 0.92.2 changes to the English translation are not possible at this time, so after we decide on wording we may land it in master first.

I complety agree with your explanations.
Thanks.
