[patch] display app_label in the admin's permission list

Description

the __str__() method of django.contrib.auth.models.Permission returns the related content type name and the permission (add, change, delete). when working on a project with several apps, some of which have models with the same name, it is impossible to distinguish which permission corresponds to which application in the list. attached is a patch to display app_label | model | permission instead of the current model | permission.

(In [4823]) Fixed #3773 -- Added app_label to Permission.str(), so that the admin permission list is easier to use with multiple permissions of the same name. Thanks, mrmachine
