units: adjust Descriptions of various units

In general, it's not very usuful to repeat the unit name as the description. Especially when the word is a common name and if somebody doesn't understand the meaning immediately, they are not going to gain anything from the repeat either, e.g. "halt", "swap". In the status-unit-format=combined output parentheses are used around Description, so avoid using parenthesis in the Description itself.
