Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Reword JavaScript fallback notice to explain trigger
 without assuming cause
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The “Please turn on JavaScript” notice can be shown even when JavaScript
is enabled, e.g. due to intermittent asset loading or caching issues
(#2324, #2851).

This change updates the copy to explain why the notice is shown and to
list possible causes without asserting that JavaScript is disabled on
the client.
