Subject: [PATCH] container: hledger-flow: paypal-business: add expenses
 description subaccount

- If expense description exists, add description as subaccount
  * This is consistent with all other legacy finance rules
    - Typically, legacy institutions provide a column for category type.
      Since PayPal doesn't provide that data, using the description will
      provide the needed information for granular (full view) reporting.

- Removes old TODO that is no longer applicable
  * End-user will need to use custom rules, if needed
