(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.
When using scan-build, you're often going to want to use it in the
context of a Nix expression with buildInputs, and the default wrapper
scripts will put things like include locations for those inputs
$NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE. Thus, scan-build also needs to pass them to the
analyzer - while the link flags aren't relevant, the include flags are.
This is because the analyzer executable that gets run by scan-build is
*not* clang-wrapper, but the actual clang executable, so it doesn't
implicitly add such arguments. The build is two-stage - it runs the real
clang wrapper once, and then the analyzer once.

* Remove package name
* Start with upper case letter
* Remove trailing period
Also reword some descriptions and move some long descriptions to
longDescription.
I'm not touching generated packages.
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.
Rules:
* Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
* Start with capital letter
* Don't end with full stop
* Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."
I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.
- don't repeat package name in description
- prefer licenses.gpl2Plus over free form "GPLv2+" license name
- add platform attribute so that splint will be available in the channel
