Bjørn Forsman c9baba9212 Fix many package descriptions
(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.

This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings
and for manipulating C strings according to the Unicode
standard.
GNU libunistring is for you if your application involves
non-trivial text processing, such as upper/lower case
conversions, line breaking, operations on words, or more
advanced analysis of text. Text provided by the user can, in
general, contain characters of all kinds of scripts. The text
processing functions provided by this library handle all scripts
and all languages.
libunistring is for you if your application already uses the ISO
C / POSIX <ctype.h>, <wctype.h> functions and the text it
operates on is provided by the user and can be in any language.
libunistring is also for you if your application uses Unicode
strings as internal in-memory representation.
