Description

Problem to solve

Allow devs to add additional info on what checking the checkbox means, along with its label

Proposed solution

Right now devs can "kinda" achieve that through the :hint prop, but the rendered UI is kinda ugly. What I was thinking was adding text right below the label, with a font-size lower than the label but higher than the hint. Related SASS variables should be provided too

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the v checkbox component source code, add a new prop for additional text, and update the relevant styles with SASS variables.
