This patch series attempts to polish up the package for SDCC, a C compiler
suite for 8-bit microcontrollers, in various ways. Specifically, it

- Moves the sdcc package (which currently exists in its own module) into
  embedded.scm, placing it together with other packages related to
  embedded-systems development;

- Expands its "license" field to include the full set used by the various
  subprojects that comprise it[0];

- Revises its synopsis and description for clarity and brevity, removing
  redundant or unnecessary information;

- Corrects the name of a build phase ("patch-makefile" to "patch-makefiles");
  and

- Expands a comment to clarify the situation regarding GPUTILS, a separate
  project on which SDCC relies for PIC-microcontroller support, as was
  discussed recently[1].

This patchset is meant to be applied after the one submitted as issue
45240[2], but doesn't depend on it.
