[GNC] How to edit pop-up menu when typing transaction descriptions

This list is populated from the descriptions used in every transaction - 
in that register.

If there are some entries that are errant (such as misspellings) or 
variant for the same entity (like a Payee, store name, etc.) the only 
way to correct these is to change those descriptions you don't want to 
those you do.

The easiest way to do this would be to do a Find for the description you 
want to change, which will give you a list of transactions using it. 
Then, as you correct them one-by-one, they'll disappear from the search 
results and when the results register is empty, it will no longer appear 
in the drop down list in account registers which are affected by those 
transactions.

Regards,
Adrien
