Subject: [PATCH] Widgets: Allow basic inline tags in
 `wp_sidebar_description()`.

The customizer has allowed HTML in sidebar descriptions since adding support for sidebars. This change ensures that basic HTML is also allowed for them in the widgets admin screen.

Props flixos90.
Merges [43275] to the 4.9 branch.
Fixes #42608.
