Improve descriptions of patches to more clearer, informative ones.
Motivation
Currently, some of the patches revanced offers either have descriptions that are confusing, vague, or not very helpful in figuring out what it does. Some of it is due to generally lacking informative description, and other is due to terminology(referring to components that revanced patches, which may not known well to the public mass). This could lead users to miss out on certain patches they might want to use.
Additional context
Following are cases in patches for YouTube shown as examples.
e1. Unclear descriptions Change start page
Changes start page of the app.
→ It does not specify what change it does to the start page and whether "start page" refers to the app intro that was recently added to the app or the main screen that comes after. Hide layout components
Hides general layout components.
→It does not specify what "general layout components" referring here. This can be referring to literally anything in the app by description.
e2. Terminology/Wording problem Player flyout menu
Hides flyout menu items.
→The fact that I had to search what "flyout menu" is showing a problem here. Even if it does describe what it patches over, sometimes it requires describing the features/components that getting patched first place(even if it sounds obvious). A good example here is the description of the patch Hide endscreen cards (Hides suggested video cards at end of videos.) Premium Heading
Show or hide premium heading.
→Instead of using the word 'heading', 'logo' is way more straightforward to refer to it. Changing words to way more simple, straightforward ones helps users to understand. (Especially cases of international users who may have shortcomings in English skills, before full implementation of translations.)

Hello @SyBEL34! I recently opened a pull request to help resolve this issue. Please don't hesitate to look over the pull request and give feedback and suggestions.
As a side note, I don't think much can be done about the description of the Hide layout components patch since the variety of things it can hide is too wide to be summed up easily. However, at least now it will say that it "Adds options to hide general layout components." which means the user knows they will be able to see all the specific options within the patched app.
