Use the "Value" column when available, instead of description #112

EDIT: Oops wrong repo.

In Eagle, it seems that the "description" column actually contains uneditable and less useful information like "CAPACITOR, European symbol" (see below screenshot).

On the other hand, the "value" column has more useful information that 1clickbom expects to be in description. Also, the "value" column can be edited very easily. Also, "value" is the changeable column when using the "assembly variant" feature, and it's nice that each assembly can be saved in the schematic files. So someone working on a board could create multiple variants, perhaps some with CPL identifiers, etc.

Thoughts on using the "value" field instead of description when it is present? Just to streamline the instructions and remove an "open and edit" step :)
