Title: Add manufacturer descriptions and layouts

Feature

This adds descriptions for manufacturers as well as the ability to set custom layouts for manufacturer information pages.

For a lot of stores the manufacturer pages can be an important grouping for products. At the moment the manufacturer info pages look quite empty. Having custom layouts and descriptions on these pages should allow users to create stronger/prettier manufacturer pages. Having more written content on manufacturers should also help SEO.
