Currently, tmux does not render emoji from Unicode 15 (e.g. U+1FABF 🪿), because the
`wcwidth` function from glibc does not know about the new characters.
Support was added upstream but not released yet
(https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=7fe6734d28feb18acb3c50b13a5f5a52f66d39cf).
Instead, tmux can use the `wcwidth` function from utf8proc, which has
regular updates so that we don't have to wait 6 months for the new
characters to be supported.
Without utf8proc, tmux on Darwin does not get enough information about character
widths. This means that tmux has rendering issues involving multi-byte
characters like emoji, ending up with visual artifacts.

From the changelog:
* Do not close stdout prematurely in control mode since it is needed to print
exit messages. Prevents hanging when detaching with iTerm2.

(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.
