[OE-core] [PATCH 00/21] Improve recipe meta-information in OE-Core

A number of recipes have inadequate DESCRIPTION and SUMMARY values,
and some don't have either. Set values for those in the latter category
and fix up the values for others (as well as taking care of HOMEPAGE in
some cases).

Many of these fixes were originally contributed by Belen Barros Pena <belen.barros.pena at intel.com>.

Note that we still have a lot of recipes with missing SUMMARY, which
results in output packages getting fairly useless values "xyz version 1.2.3";
as a rule, recipes should set SUMMARY rather than DESCRIPTION if they are
only going to set a short description anyway (since DESCRIPTION will get
the value of SUMMARY if not set, but the reverse is not true).


The following changes since commit 395b90054eccddc1c9062a9a8657ed4482b7710a:

  glib-2.0: disable tests for native builds, and respect ptest for LSB (2013-04-22 15:48:57 +0100)
