Custom build descriptions
Say hello to custom build descriptions! This feature should make it a little bit easier to display the revision number, the person who started the build, or anything else that you can get hold of in the console output of your builds.

On top of that, this release also brings:
- ability to sort displayed projects by their estimated duration (including upstream projects) - #220 - Thanks @eribau!
- a fix to #224, where the progress bar didn't display the colour-blind friendly background pattern
Fun fact: All Build Monitor acceptance tests are written using the Screenplay Pattern and executed with Serenity BDD. That's how I get those cool test reports you've just seen a screenshot of above.
