CLI: Variables set should allow to set description

[eladkal]

Body

The CLI:

airflow variables set [-h] [-j] [-v] key VALUE

https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/cli-and-env-variables-ref.html#set_repeat1

Doesn't support adding description though column exists and we support it from Rest API:
https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/stable-rest-api-ref.html#operation/post_variables

The Task:

Allow to set description from cli command

Hi @eladkal ,

I am willing to take this issue and make a PR for this.

Before I made any changes, I think this issue is related to this code snippet

airflow/airflow/cli/commands/variable_command.py

Lines 61 to 66 in 99eeb84

	@cli_utils.action_cli
	@providers_configuration_loaded
	def variables_set(args):
	"""Create new variable with a given name and value."""
	Variable.set(args.key, args.value, serialize_json=args.json)
	print(f"Variable {args.key} created")

In order to achieve this, I will need to update the following line

Variable.set(args.key, args.value, serialize_json=args.json)

to something like this:

Variable.set(args.key, args.value, args.description, serialize_json=args.json)

I am wondering if this approach looks good to you and please feel free to assign me to this issue.

Thanks!
