Rename action from "C/C++ Lint Action" to "C/C++ Linter"

I'm wondering whether to change this action's name in the marketplace from "C/C++ Lint Action" to "C/C++ Linter", because the following reasons.
- To improve the ranking (A good action should be known)
When I search in the marketplace with the keyword "lint", our action is on the first page, but when I search with "linter", the action is on the second page, even though we have a higher start, from the search results, it should be because of not a linter in the name. (see screenshots below) - Word "linter" seems used more than "lint" in the marketplace
- The action name and the organization name use the same suffix - linter
I also want to update the action's description
- From "Automatically checks push & PR changes with clang-format & clang-tidy, then post annotations/comments with faulty results."
- To "Automatically checks push/pull request changes with clang-format/clang-tidy then post annotations/comments with faulty results."
Because "&" cannot be displayed in the marketplace. Or use the following description from README to make difference with other actions forked from ArtificialAmateur/cpp-linter-action
- "Linting C/C++ code integrating clang-tidy and clang-format to collect feedback provided in the form of thread comments and/or annotations"

Search with "lint", our action is on page 1
Search with "linter", on page 1, no our action
We are on page 2: https://github.com/marketplace?page=2&q=linter&query=linter&type=actions
Sounds good to me.
Its a bit weird that github doesn't use the repo's keywords/tags to help prioritize the search. Maybe we have so many that it gets confused?
Maybe the order of keywords has precedence?
The ampersand (&) is probably because it is an illegal XML character. I'd suggest /, but that has special meaning in XML. We should probably replace the & with and.

I have updated the order of keywords. OK, will replace the & with and
