ns-plug: add description field for units on Controller #1302

Description

@gsanchietti

Multiple users have requested the possibility to add a description field for units on the NethSecurity Controller.

Currently, only the unit "name" is synchronized and shown on the controller, but a more informative description (such as customer code, company name, notes) would make it easier to identify the provided service and manage units remotely.

The request arises from the management need to associate additional details to units, making it easier for administrators to identify customers and quickly understand the context of each unit from the controller interface, especially when managing many units.

Proposed solution

Inside the unit UI, add a description field (editable) in the controller configuration page where the unit name is already selected. This field should be synchronized between the unit and the controller, displayed in the units table, and remain editable after initial configuration—either by disconnecting/reconnecting or through regular data sync.

Alternatively, consider reusing one of the existing fields ("Notes" or "Short description") if appropriate, as discussed in the team.
