Split type descriptions in codadef definitions into short and long descriptions #23

Open svniemeijer opened 7 years ago

We need to split the description into something that can be used for e.g. plot axis labels or command line output (short description) and something that allows for a more extensive explanation of the data (long description).

The idea is to replace the current single description parameter into separate short_description and long_description parameters.
