gmime: Improve DESCR and mention API version

Edited DESCR in the case of:
 File too long (should be no more than 24 lines).
 Line too long (should be no more than 80 characters).
 Trailing empty lines.
 Trailing white-space.
Trucated the long files as best as possible while preserving the most info
contained in them.

back out update to the API incompatible 2.4 branch -- there are
still users of the 2.0 API, and mail/gmome24 has been there before

Changes 2.4.18:

GMime 2.4 has had a number of API changes since GMime 2.2. To start, ALL public
APIs that used to use off_t in GMime 2.2 now use gint64 so that the API and ABI
do not change based on whether or not large file support is enabled.

In addition, all of the functions marked as deprecated in 2.0 and 2.2 were
removed (usually they had equivalent functionality in a parent class).

Many functions have also been renamed for better clarity and/or consistency.
For convenience, GMime 2.4 source packages include a shell-script to aid in
porting applications using GMime 2.2 (should work for most GMime 2.0
applications as well) to the 2.4 API. You can find this script under the
tools/ directory, named `gmime-port-2-2-to-2-4.sh'.

This script won't fix everything, but it should help quite a bit.

Removed trailing white-space.
