Parse JSDoc comments on Properties

[dudeofawesome]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When defining an Entity, I often find myself writing JSDoc code comments to provide inline documentation for properties. I usually want those comments to also exist on the database representation of the Entity as well, so I have to copy my comments into the comment property of the Property decorator.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if we could parse the code comments from the AST just like we parse the property name and type.

Here's an example of TS-Morph providing the JSDoc comment on bar into the Node::jsDoc[0].comment property.

I am personally not interested in implementing that, but the metadata provider layer is (and always was) configurable, nothing holds you from creating such metadata provider, and maybe publish it as a 3rd party package.

Does that mean that Mikro ORM would not be open to a PR implementing this?

Oh wait a second, I think I misunderstood what you are asking for. I thought you wanted a separate metadata provider that works based on JSDoc, but you want to improve the existing one from @mikro-orm/reflection so it can read property comments from JSDoc?

In such case, yes, PR welcome. I am not entirely sure if it's a good idea to do this all the time, but it could be conditional.
