gnu: testdisk: Relocate and improve description.
This is the result of attempting to package 'photorec', only to realize it's part of testdisk, which we already had in the first place. * gnu/packages/admin.scm (testdisk): Move to... * gnu/packages/disk.scm (testdisk): ... here. [description]: Expound, and add a description section about the included PhotoRec tool.

+ (description "TestDisk is primarily designed to help recover lost
+partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms
+were caused by faulty software or human error (such as accidentally deleting a
+partition table). TestDisk can:
+@enumerate
+@item Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
+@item Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup
+@item Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector
+@item Fix FAT tables
+@item Rebuild NTFS boot sector
+@item Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup
+@item Fix MFT using MFT mirror
+@item Locate ext2/ext3/ext4 Backup SuperBlock
+@item Un-delete files from FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2 file systems
+@item Copy files from deleted FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions.
+@end enumerate
+This package also includes the @command{photorec} command, described below.
+
+PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files
+including video, documents and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost
+pictures (thus the Photo Recovery name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec
+ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still
+work even if your media's file system has been severely damaged or
+reformatted. It can recover lost files from at least:
+@enumerate
+@item FAT
+@item NTFS
+@item exFAT
+@item ext2/ext3/ext4 file system
+@item HFS+
