Description is used in task manager for Halloy on Windows

[casperstorm]

Notice the title of the Halloy process in Task Manager on Windows:

I believe it is caused by the windows_exe_info which is called here:

halloy/build.rs

Lines 4 to 5 in fbbde68

	embed_resource::compile("assets/windows/halloy.rc", embed_resource::NONE);
	windows_exe_info::versioninfo::link_cargo_env();

@KaiKorla - Something you could pick up if you have time?

I think we discussed this before (middle last year or so). We have two options:

Option 1:
Change the description field in the Cargo.toml to something shorter. AFAIK the best practices are: keep it short, clear & user-friendly. Maybe we could change the value to "Halloy IRC Client".

Option 2:
Rewrite the code windows_exe_info::versioninfo::link_cargo_env(); to set the file_description value of the file_info: vec![FileInfo. I dont know if this possible. If not, we have to overwrite/re-implement the windows_exe_info::versioninfo::link_cargo_env(); by ourself.

You choose! Then i would change it! :-)

I agree with this, @KaiKorla. Take a look at: #772.
