Description
- Building on the https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-course-authoring/issues/1041 , add an editable "Description" field for each content library.
- Update the backend and APIs to support the description field.
- Note that only users with "author" or "admin" permission for the library have the requisite
CAN_EDIT_THIS_CONTENT_LIBRARYpermission; for read-only users, the Description field should be read-only.

Research direction
Start with linked issue #1041, then locate the content-library UI and API entry points and trace the CAN_EDIT_THIS_CONTENT_LIBRARY permission. Done means libraries have an editable Description for authors and admins, a read-only field for other users, and backend/API support for storing and returning it.
