WIN32: scummvm.exe FileDescription is a url

Description

The FileDescription in ScummVM's executable is unusual: a url.

Windows sometimes uses FileDescription in dialogs assuming it is a proper name.
Not ProductName as one might expect.

Spot checks among other apps indicates those two values are often identical. Sometimes FileDescription will be a slightly longer name.

I have not seen another executable with a url in any field of its metadata.

I'm guessing this is the relevant file.
