Subject: [PATCH] Pluralize stalled IssueBlockedNotice copy for multi-leaf
 chains

When the chip strip surfaces more than one stalled leaf, the trailing
imperative now uses plural agreement ("Resolve the stalled reviews
below or remove them as blockers.") to match the chips. Single-leaf
copy is unchanged.

Refs PAP-2382 (follow-up from PAP-2374 UX review of PAP-2373).
