Add a Description to a Package

Wraps a package in an 'Annotations' block containing an 'Annotation' element with 'AnnotationType="Description"'. Biml maps this annotation to the SSIS package's 'Description' property, so the text becomes visible in the package properties pane in SSDT and is persisted in the SSIS catalog. The same pattern works on any container element (Task, Container, Variable, Connection, and so on) when you want descriptive metadata to travel alongside the generated artifact.
