* guix/ui.scm (package->recutils): Output outputs with their descriptions,
one per line.
---
Salut Guix,
People have been complaining for a while, that outputs are not really
discoverable [who?]. This patch attempts to fix that by displaying each
on their own line with a (hopefully) helpful description next to it.
It is expected, that these descriptions do not span multiple lines.
Cheers
