New description:

 When the refreshed menu UI was introduced in r14248, it came with the
 possibility to add a description to each menu item. When that description
 textarea is displayed,
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.0/src/wp-admin/includes
 /nav-menu.php#L182 it's accompanied by the help text]:

 {{{The description will be displayed in the menu if the current theme
 supports it.}}}

 Yet there is currently no way for themes (that I'm aware of) to actually
 display these descriptions. Let's change that!

 Added incentive would be one less callback in #29799 Twenty Fifteen.
