[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Move important information up in -Si output

Currently, the package description is printed at the end of the -Si output.
This is probably one of the more important pieces of information so should
be nearer the top. Also move the package architecture up.

I suppose this is a bit subjective, but having the package description at the
end of -Si has annoyed me long enough that I decided to fix it!
