upstream: Add 'description' field to 'upstream-updater'.

Suggested by Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>.

* guix/upstream.scm (<upstream-updater>): Use 'define-record-type*'.
  [description]: New field.
  (lookup-updater): Adjust accordingly.
* guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (%gnu-updater): Likewise.
* guix/import/cran.scm (%cran-updater): Likewise.
* guix/import/elpa.scm (%elpa-updater): Likewise.
* po/guix/POTFILES.in: Add guix/scripts/import/cran.scm and
  guix/gnu-maintenance.scm.
