Description

@zmanion

From a discussion on Slack, better document how to reject a CVE ID.

An example: CVEProject/cvelist#8836

  1. There are Services API calls
  2. How is the description text generated?

The template text looks old:

** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: <something>. Reason: <some reason>. Notes: <some notes>.

Another example, web site shows description text: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-25694

Description is not present in JSON: https://cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve-id/CVE-2023-25694

If nothing else, update template text to no longer talk about "candidate number."

Possibly include description text in JSON, as it may be informative.
