schema: add regex to validate description is non-empty

Current evaluation
Merged a schema update adding a regex pattern to validate non-empty snap descriptions. This catches metadata errors earlier in the build process. Approved by maintainer, passed CI checks, and integrated into the main branch.

No scores available.
Issue body
Empty descriptions will fail late in the build with:
Failed to generate snap metadata: Missing required key(s) in
snapcraft.yaml: 'description'. Either specify the missing
key(s), or use 'adopt-info' to get them from a part.
Add a schema regex pattern to validate that the string is non-empty
so the error will happen prior to build, if specified.
