Issue:
Support API Gateway stage deployment description
# This is a Feature Proposal

## Description

Currently, [API Gateway deployment](https://github.com/serverless/serverless/blob/master/lib/plugins/aws/package/compile/events/apiGateway/lib/deployment.js#L14) only support **RestApiId** and **StageName** property.

In [AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-apigateway-deployment.html#cfn-apigateway-deployment-description) doc, it supports follow Properties:

```
{
  "Type" : "AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment",
  "Properties" : {
    "DeploymentCanarySettings" : DeploymentCanarySettings,
    "Description" : String,
    "RestApiId" : String,
    "StageDescription" : StageDescription,
    "StageName" : String
  }
}
```

For feature proposals:
* What is the use case that should be solved 
   Support **Description** property so that the deployment history can have descriptions as well.
* If there is additional config how would it look
   In serverless.yml 

```
    stage:
        name: dev
        description:  my stage deployment description 
```



Similar or dependent issues:
* None

## Additional Data

* ***Serverless Framework Version you're using***: 1.32.0
* ***Operating System***: Linux
* ***Stack Trace***:
* ***Provider Error messages***:
