Move -debugDescription implementation to -description method for improved debugability

[rastersize]

This PR moves the -debugDescription implementation to the -description method instead. The reasoning being that it makes debugging easier if a request or response object is logged instead of printed using the debugger.

Also aligns the format with Apple’s standard (<ClassName: 0xDEADBEEF property-1 = "string value"; property-2 = 42>).

Why not both? If we log these objects we will use -description, but we might still want to po individual objects in the console.

I would suggest returning the -description string from -debugDescription.

Note: I'm assuming the default implementation of -debugDescription just prints the object and its address.

@iOSCowboy: This will work with po in the debugger as well. Unless we want to output something extra, or special, when printed from the debugger all that’s needed it so implement -description. See the documentation for -[NSObject debugDescription]:

- debugDescription
Returns a string that describes the contents of the receiver for presentation in the debugger.

NSObject implements this method by calling through to the description method. Thus, by default, an object’s debug description is the same as its description. However, you can override debugDescription if you want to decouple these.

Perfect! Thanks for the note, @rastersize.
