/** @class DimDescriptionService

@brief A DimService which broadcasts descriptions for services and commands

The DimDescriptionService creates a service with the name of the server like
SERVER/SERVICE_DESC. This is meant in addition to the SERVICE_LIST service
of each node to contain a description of the service and its arguments.

Assume you have created a service (or command) with the format I:2;F:1
a valid description string would look like

   Description|int[addr]:Address range (from - to)|val[byte]:Value to be set

Description is a general description of the command or service itself,
int and val are the names of the arguments (e.g. names of FITS columns),
addr and byte have the meaning of a unit (e.g. unit of FITS column)
and the text after the colon is a description of the arguments
(e.g. comment of a FITS column). The description must not contain a
line-break character \n.

You can omit either the name, the unit or the comment or any combination of them.
The descriptions of the individual format strings are separated by a vertical line.

The description should contain as many descriptions as format chunks, e.g.

 - I:1          should contain one description chunks
 - I:1;F:1      should contain two description chunks
 - I:2;F:1      should contain two description chunks
 - I:2;I:1;F:1  should contain three description chunks
