[bug#74459] [PATCH 6/8] guix: lint: Ignore initials from double space check.

[Gabriel Wicki <gabriel@erlikon.ch>]

Prevent false positives in initials as the are commonly used in names, e.g.
Margaret E. Hamilton - which obviously do not end sentences.  Check whether a
period character `.' is preceded by at least two characters.  This should save
us from false positives when linting.

* guix/lint.scm(check-description-style)[check-end-of-sentence-space] Add
condition.
* tests/lint.scm: Add test case.
