 In the link created by `get_comment_reply_link()` there's no `title`
 attribute. I was trying to use an arrow icon, and wanted to add a tooltip
 for the user. Currently the only way to do this is to use the
 `comment_reply_link` filter and alter the HTML markup - not terribly
 elegant.
 While aria-label is fantastic for assistive devices, I think `title` would
 be a nice addition for simple hints.

 Attached patch adds `reply_title` and `login_title` arguments which
 default to empty, since the default link text is self-explanatory and a
 tooltip would be unnecessary. Naturally, open to feedback and
 alternatives.

 Empty title attributes do not result in empty tooltips in the browsers I
 have readily available (OSX Firefox/Chrome/Safari) - I somewhat recall
 older versions of IE being an issue, but I don't have a definitive list of
 browser behaviors here.
