Add support for the 'description' field for the aws_security_group_rule resource

[timothykimball]

Hi there,

It would be great to programmatically specify a description for security group rules we create. This will help someone independently auditing understanding why a rule is where it is.

I believe the CLI supports

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id sg-123abc12 --ip-permissions '[{"IpProtocol": "tcp", "FromPort": 3389, "ToPort": 3389, "IpRanges": [{"CidrIp": "203.0.113.0/24", "Description": "RDP access from NY office"}]}]'

(taken from AWS Documentation: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ec2/authorize-security-group-ingress.html)

@timothykimball there is work already undergoing to add this functionality, as per:

hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#1587

I recommend you open issues against the Terraform Providers organisation in an appropriate repository.
