ecpg: Reject multiple header items in GET/SET DESCRIPTOR

Previously, ecpg accepted multiple descriptor header items in GET DESCRIPTOR
and SET DESCRIPTOR, but generated broken C code when they were used.
Although the grammar allowed this syntax, the implementation did not actually
support it.

This commit tightens the ecpg grammar so the header form of GET/SET DESCRIPTOR
accepts only a single header item, matching the implementation and preventing
generation of broken C code.

Also update the documentation synopsis accordingly.

Backpatch to all supported versions.
