refactor: remove redundant title attributes from package nav

[knowler]

This is the beginning of a iterative refactor to remove title attributes throughout the app.

These are all for the package navigation bar (on the package page). I left the title for “diff” because its description was actually descriptive (eventually it will replaced with a tooltip). You could argue that they would be useful for smaller viewports, but they don’t show up on touchscreens anyway.

Ideally, we’ll use tooltips instead of title in all situations, but our tooltip implementation is not correct (something I’ll detail more in an issue I’ll create soon, along with a proposal of how we should fix it).
