Remove newlines in package description for compatibility with new setuptools

[Tobias-Fischer]

…uptools

Currently many builds are broken with the newest setuptools
This is because of pypa/setuptools#2870
See e.g. pypa/setuptools#1390 pypa/setuptools#2895 pypa/setuptools#2893

Could you share an example?

[Tobias-Fischer]

Sure. Here is one for image-geometry (https://github.com/ros-perception/vision_opencv/blob/noetic/image_geometry/package.xml - mind the newlines in the description), same for e.g. cv-bridge.

CMake Error at catkin_generated/safe_execute_install.cmake:4 (message):

This will obviously take a while before it shows up in Debian builds because setuptools is far behind, but we encounter the issue in RoboStack already as we have up-to-date setuptools in conda-forge.

#316 looks nicer.
