GitHub Hygiene: Make sure every repo has a description and readme

[Mr0grog]

Developers who are building things on top of IPFS have pretty much all indicated that they’ve solved a lot of their problems by digging through IPFS source code and through the repos here on GitHub. We won’t have perfect docs for them tomorrow, but one quick and easy thing we can do is make sure every repo has a description. A lot of them don’t:

Tagging @mgoelzer if you want to take ownership over the Libp2p side of this list (or move it to the libp2p org).

This is an old issue, and we'll need to regenerate the list of repos, but it's still a valid effort.

Support on this didn't follow through, and initial effort is now outdated. Closing.
