When having a semicolon in service description the metric system would break i.e. metrics for this service would not be displayed.

Having a semicolon in service description was not allowed before 2.0 but this restriction has been removed with Werk #12799. From now on the semicolon will again be removed from service descriptions.

With this change all services containing a semicolon will be renamed after the next "Activate changes"

Notice: You are only affected by this issue if you are using the Checkmk Microcore
