Add usage text to device template

[ghost]

When importing a GNS3 appliance an usage text will be shown (when included in the appliance).

It would be helpful when this usage text can be viewed later. Therefore I suggest to copy this usage text to the device template. Then this usage text can be shown, when hovering over a device of this type.

Seem to be a good idea for 1.4 or a later release.

Done in template and on hover, good idea

When saving or loading a project with usage I get a validation error:

Validation error when dumping the topology.

Without the usage field, everything is fine. I assume gns3/schemas/topology.json has to be updated.
