Description

It might be out of the scope but it would be great if pins could have notes with them.

Countless times I wondered what the file is, and what it does in IPFS, it is even worst if it is only plain file and not directory, so here is my proposal.

Optional notes that can be added while pinning (in similar fashion pin-bot has it), if file is being added also allow to specify note for the pin and if not specified use full file path (or state that it was stdin) with timestamp (ISO 8601).

Research direction
Look at the pinning command implementation in the core/commands directory. Examine how pins are currently stored and consider adding an optional notes field. The issue suggests using file path or timestamp as default. Check existing pin bot functionality for reference and see if there are any related PRs or comments.
