Use page.description for summary element, falling back to page.excerpt

[mwaterfall]

Jekyll SEO Tag prioritises the page.description front matter value over page.excerpt (see PR). It would be great to also have this for the feed item's summary element.

While excerpt typically contains a truncated snippet from the beginning of the post, description provides a place for the author to better summarise the content.

That's a great idea. @mwaterfall would you be interested in submitting a pull request? I believe https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed/blob/master/lib/jekyll-feed/feed.xml#L68-L70 is the relevant code (Liquid template)
