Name / value annotations
Adding arbitrary name/value pairs to bones, slots, attachments, etc has many uses.

Use case: Add comments to animations (on the dopesheet) and skeletons for future reference and reminders, and collaboration notes. "wtf was i doing in this animation?"
Maybe name/value pairs could have types, eg float, string, bool, etc. One type could be "comment", which would only be exported with nonessential data.
Suggestions by Marek that could be taken into consideration for the enhancement:
- Allow to write an annotation for each „hierarchy“ item in the item properties. ( the area where you set all the parameters for that item, just above or below the Add, New buttons )
- Add a check box for showing the annotation in the viewport top right corner if the item that has an annotation is being selected
- When the mouse hovers an item, the possibility to show that annotation in the viewport top right corner, or, similar to what you do with attachments, show a popup annotation floating bubble.

I would like to also have ability to mark a slot with array of string, honestly want ability to tag a slot and able to query in runtime. So we could group multiple slot as a set that could be modified easily. I think this ability is useful in general so it should be native to spine and we don't need to separately came up with our own difference format
