It would be useful to have a `description` parameter for the [artifact uploader github action](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-gh-action-upload-artifact/tree/master) that gets passed through to the http api.

Hi @DanLipsitt,
Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure I understand it right though - you mean like an arbitrary string which then gets set as the specific artifacts description?
Greetz,

@TheYoctoJester Yes, exactly. There’s a description field in the web interface and in the api, but not in the GitHub action. My usecase would be to automatically populate it from the release notes of the artifact I am uploading.
