Allow user to set and retrieve the server Description

Registered by Chuck Carmack

Users would like the ability to set the Description when creating server, edit the Description later, and retrieve the Description. A description column already exists in the database, so the change is to add a description parameter to the Create Server API, Update Server API, and nova boot CLI. The description needs to be returned on the Get Server Details API and nova show CLI.
