#346: Add a warning for synopsis being a prefix of the description

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Many packages provide useless descriptions, just repeating the synopsis.
Three (all from different authors, and only looking at those with "string"
as a substring of the name!) include stringtable-atom, bytestring-csv and
packedstring.
Suggestion: Give a warning when the synposis is a prefix of the
description.
