Cable trace: include circuit "description" field

[candlerb]

NetBox version

v3.5.3

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When doing an end-to-end trace which includes a Circuit, the Circuit element shows:

,---------------------------.
|<Circuit ID>: termination A|
+---------------------------+
|   Circuit <Circuit ID>    |
|   <Provider>              |
+---------------------------+
|<Circuit ID>: termination Z|
`---------------------------'

I would like the middle box to include the circuit description field as well (if it is set)

Use case

A circuit ID by itself is an opaque number, whereas the circuit description gives a human-readable summary of its purpose.

Our current workaround is to abuse the Circuit ID field with "<Circuit ID> - <Description>", although this means that now the description is duplicated in the termination A and termination Z fields.
