Unclear wording in LCP audit

See original GitHub issue

I got some feedback from the translators that the LCP element audit is confusing and I agree.

The current copy is:

This is the element that was identified as the Largest Contentful Paint.

However that is odd because an element can’t be the “LCP”. The element could be the largest element painted and thus be the element identified as the element used to calculate LCP.

Possible reword:

This is the element that had the largest content during the load, therefore
its paint time was used in calculating the Largest Contentful Paint timing metric.

That might be too wordy, but I think we need to be more clear about what this element is.
