This adds an optional `description` parameter to PATCH /v3/stacks/:guid so a stack's description can be changed after creation — e.g. to mark a newly introduced stack as "preview". Validation: when provided, description must be non-empty and <= 250 characters. The create message is tightened to match, POST and PATCH now behave identically for description: - Omitted → allowed (comes from cf-deployment) - Non-empty, ≤250 → allowed - "", whitespace-only, or null → 422 rejected - >250 → rejected

Allow updating stack description via PATCH /v3/stacks/:guid
Adds an optional description parameter to PATCH /v3/stacks/:guid, making a stack's description editable after creation. When provided, description must be at most 250 characters (same length description was given in create in commit 50e9b79).
Mark a newly introduced stack e.g. as "preview". When a new stack is rolled out, operators want to flag it as preview/experimental for a period. The description is prominent, it's shown by cf stacks, so updating it is a clear, visible signal to users. (state_reason could carry this too, but it's less visible and not shown by cf stacks.)
Correct or clarify a stack description after the fact without recreating the stack, e.g. fixing a typo, updating the OS version note, or adding deprecation guidance, rather than being stuck with whatever was seeded from cf-deployment at creation time.
This change was developed with AI assistance; all code was reviewed and tested by me.
