What?

Update the Date block's description.

Why?

Per #70585, the Date block defaults to allowing the user to setting a custom date. (The previous default behavior — showing the publish date of the containing post — was turned into a block variation).

However, the block description was not updated accordingly, as pointed out by @ntsekouras. This PR remediates that.

Note that the "Post Date" and "Modified Date" variations of the block already have more accurate descriptions:

gutenberg/packages/block-library/src/post-date/variations.js

Line 11 in 4d30918

description: __( "Display a post's publish date." ),

gutenberg/packages/block-library/src/post-date/variations.js

Line 33 in 4d30918

description: __( "Display a post's last updated date." ),

Code is already on release/22.0 branch, no need to cherry-pick it.
