Missing description field for Azure Firewall Policy Rule Collection Group rules
In the reference documentation for creating rules in rule collection groups in Azure Firewall Policy the `description` field is listed as valid for individual rules: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us...

Below is the feedback from Microsoft and the workaround:
- The description field is stored but not exposed in the resource properties.
- They are working on a fix to make it visible in both the portal and PowerShell.
- For now, you can verify the presence of the description by using the Export Template blade in the Azure Portal.
Workaround
If visibility is critical:
- Use Export Template to confirm the description is deployed.
- Consider tagging rules with metadata or naming conventions until the field is exposed in UI/CLI.
