Add an option to retract a flag before it's handled

I was reviewing a post when mistakenly, I flagged the post. I wanted to remove that flag, since I know that moderators would decline it.

Since the flag was raised by mistake, it would be great if the flag could be retracted before it's handled.

I agree, we know from experience that this is useful. "Someplace Else" got this feature and I've used it now and then. Often when you get some "wait a minute..." moment, realizing that you have misinterpreted something. Or when an OP changes the question with clarifications so that it makes better sense.

This feature would reduce moderator workload and improve quality of flags raised.
