Use imagery name in JOSM source comment instead of tms url #766

Currently when uploading changes to a TM task that has an imagery, the tms url is added to the source. It would be far more readable for others to just add the imagery name like DigitalGlobe instead of the full tms url.

Even clicking obtain from source add a generic Tasking Manager ## imagery name. An option to set the correct name in TM would be handy.

Previously ticketed on JOSM, but looks like this is TM related.

I would really like to provide both the proper name in the source field, but also pass an "imagery_used" or similar key with the url. Just knowing "source=DG WV2 June 23, 2014" does not really help for trying to figure out why something was mapped the way it was based on that imagery, but having the url to the actual image at least provides a chance I can check or make use of the imagery again if it is still available.
