Remove betweeness from dict -- it breaks spell checking of grass files and isn't a common enough word to warrant more intrusive workarounds

Great 🙂! BTW does this also generalize the 'grass7' provider ID to just 'grass', since currently GRASS 8 is the version in use? I encountered users and R developers being confused by the 'grass7' label. |

The goal here is to improve the QGIS startup speed, especially on Windows where opening and parsing the hundreds of description .txt files is SLOOOOOOW. This contributes significantly to the overall speed of loading QGIS on Windows, especially on new installs/cold starts.
To avoid this, the .txt description files are aggregated into a single .json unified file, which can be quickly opened and read in one go.
The json file is built using the new
description_to_json.pyscript, which must be run whenever any of the .txt description files are updated.
