gnu: Fix grammar of various package descriptions.

Adjust patterns where "allows to X" to use "allows Xing" or similar forms.

* gnu/packages/build-tools.scm (potato-make): Use "Allows Xing" form.
* gnu/packages/image.scm (pngcheck): Likewise.
* gnu/packages/qt.scm (kddockwidgets): Likewise.
* gnu/packages/tex.scm (texlive-biblatex-shortfields): Use "Allow Xing" form.
(texlive-drawmatrix): Likewise.  (texlive-mathsemantics): Use "allow Y Xing"
form.  (texlive-xlop): Use "allow Xing" form.  (texlive-texlogfilter):
Likewise.
