[INVALID] Show credit recipients the tax deduction

When trading credits, the recipient can't see the amount before taxes that was originally sent.

Right now:

/credits give joseph3114 160

--------Give joseph3114 credits?-----------
"joseph3114" will receive 144 credits after 10% tax.
Type /yes to proceed.


The recipient sees:

joseph3114 has given you 144 credits.

I propose it is changed to show:

joseph3114 has given you 144 credits (160 credits before tax).

This change will fix a lot of confusion when new people trade for the first time, and will allow people to make sure they are given the intended amount without needing to go calculate what the amount after tax will be.

This is why I voted yes. It's a good security measure.

Yes, no more whining about tax. Sounds great.

Would be cool to get Helpy to respond to questions about tax too, since this would probably bring up concern about where the tax goes.
