Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

pax-utils is a small set of utilities for peforming Q/A (mostly security) checks on systems (most notably, `scanelf`). It is focused on the ELF format, but does include a Mach-O helper too for OS X systems. While heavily integrated into Gentoo's build system, it can be used on any distro as it is a generic toolset. Originally focused only on [PaX](https://pax.grsecurity.net/), it has been expanded to be generally security focused. It still has a good number of PaX helpers for people interested in that.
