Once nixpart 1.0 is released we then only need to delete one single
directory rather than searching for needles in a haystack, that is, all
of <nixpkgs>. Also, it keeps my sanity at an almost healthy level.

We don't want Hydra to even try and build this, because we're going to
fill in the right sha256 as soon as the the new nixpart version is
released.

Put a copy of old version 0.17 expression into 0.17.nix and update the
pointers from nixpart0 accordingly.
This also means, that plain nixpart is now way more broken than
nixpart0 (we might want to temporarily fix 0.4 anyway).

Update the nixpart0 pointer to point to this version, because we're
going to update blivet as well and NixOps still points to nixpart0.

(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
