Support "Title and Description" in Argo Workflows #2626

Description

@Casperbart

We have quite a few workflows running in Argo Workflows, some may have multiple branches, and it is getting harder to understand what workflows have been deployed and executed.
The main issue is that when a Metaflow Workflow is deployed to Argo Workflows, its name may get truncated, due to Argo naming restrictions. These truncated names are very hard to relate to the flows and branches we have deployed.

In the image below I have multiple variants/branches of the same template, and from the template naming, I can barely differentiate between them. In the Metaflow UI it is not as much of an issue, since i can see the name of the deployed branch.

This issue could be mitigated by supporting the "Title and Description" feature in Argo Workflows
https://argo-workflows.readthedocs.io/en/latest/title-and-description/

The feature adds the following annotations workflows.argoproj.io/title and workflows.argoproj.io/description, to Argo Workflow, WorkflowTemplate, CronTemplate and ClusterWorkflowTemplates.
