[GUI] Fix project's Ellipsoid option description (adding angle to distance and area)

PR Description:

Description

Also angle measurement, besides the distance and area ones, is ellipsoidal. (Unless "None \ Planimetric" ellipsoid is set).

In Project -> Properties -> General -> Measurements: from

Ellipsoid
(for distance and area calculations)

to

Ellipsoid
(distance, area, angle calculations)

Another possible approach would be to completely remove the (for distance and area calculations) text. Not sure if this PR is worth to be backported.

EDIT: as suggested in the review, I've removed the text in parenthesis and added a tooltip to the "Ellipsoid" option's label with the text For distance, area and angle calculations.
