Title: Remove escaping of Fieldset descriptions.

At this moment when using a form field description
```XML

```
with language string
```INI
COM_EXAMPLE_DESC="This is important!"
```
The translation is being escaped in views:
```PHP
echo '

' . $this->escape(JText::_($fieldSet->description)) . '

';
```
preventing use HTML tags in the description:
This is <strong>important!</strong>

However this is not a case for
- the [spacer field](https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/libraries/joomla/form/fields/spacer.php#L83), which may be used as a workaround,
- and other [field descriptions](https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/libraries/joomla/form/field.php#L717)

So I think HTML escaping should be removed for fieldset descriptions.
This allows to be more descriptive, add hyperlinks, images, etc.
