this has been done automatically with the following comand line

also update the internal name of that parameter and all child algorithms
in the model accordingly
Before we just "faked" this by changing the parameter's description
only, but that meant that the old name was permenantly stuck and
had to be used in qgis_process or when calling the model via
python.
Specifically, this fixes two issues
1. If a user edits a dark green output block in a model and changes the
name of the output, that new name was always discarded and the only
way to change it was by editing the algorithm it was attached to
2. If an output was renamed through the algorithm properties dialog,
then any properties previously associated with that output (like
comments, coloring, placement, default value, mandatory flag)
would get reset back to their default settings
This allows users to create comments attached to model components (inputs,
algorithms or outputs). Comments are shown linked to the associated component,
and can be freely moved around the model.
to handle creation of parameter definition widgets
Previously, these configuration widgets were all hardcoded into the Python modeler
dialog. This prevented 3rd party, plugin provided, parameters from ever being full
first class citizens in QGIS, as there was no way to allow their use as inputs to
user created models to be customised.
Now, the registry is responsible for creating the configuration widget, allowing
for 3rd party parameter types to provide their own customised configuration
widgets.

This adds a new parameter type specifically for map scales,
QgsProcessingParameterScale. The values are evaluated using
self.parameterAsDouble, which returns the map scale
denominator (matching the standard in other parts of the
QGIS API).
Scale parameters are displayed to users using the standard
QgsScaleWidget, which includes the combo box of predefined
scales and a shortcut button to match the current map scale.
- fix parameter can get converted to plain number parameter after edits
- allow parameter to be linked to parent parameters, so that the
correct distance unit and choices are shown for the parameter
