Return search list's description element

 Description   
When an end user selects some option from a searchlist, its key value is used as parameter input and is included in the response.

We display descriptions so that the end user knows which key value to select - so why don't we display the description in the result as well? It makes little sense to a person who doesn't actually know what those key values mean...

Show description and value on second xls page and in the parameterlist on the resultpage

To do this we need the description in the xml

Implemented in SVN rev 710-711:

Background info: just copy-pasted from the commit messages:

for xreporter:
  * remembering the short description in the report model
  * providing the short description in the step info (for display on output page)
  * if available, the short description is used in the 'natural description' of conditions
  * the short descriptions are also stored in the report store

Note that hence the short-description is not fetched from the database (which would require to define a SQL statement to retrieve it), but rather the description displayed at the moment the user selected it is remembered.

for xreporter-cocoon:
 * in interactions, for params and conditions with a searchlist, submit short description along with value
 * in HTML & Excel/POI output: use the description instead of the value
 * fixed binary mime type for the interaction.js

Just FYI: the short-description's are also part of the persistent URLs (which basically contain the same information as the stored reports).
