Subject: [PATCH] fix(dashboard): treat description and category corrections as
 changed answers

The hero renders a live programme's description and category (#1738), so
sameLiveEpgAnswers must compare them too; otherwise a guide correction to
either was dropped by distinctUntilChanged until the programme changed.
