What is rlPolicyRulesDescription?

This read-write DisplayString holds free-text, up to 20 characters, describing the purpose of this policy rule. An admin fills this in to make a rule self-documenting, so that reviewing the policy table later doesn't require reverse-engineering the classifier and action fields to understand intent. For example, an admin might label a rule 'block-guest-to-lan' so colleagues immediately understand its purpose when auditing the ACL configuration.
