If I call get_playlist() on a playlist without a description I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./ytmusic.py", line 100, in <module>
    main()
  File "./ytmusic.py", line 71, in main
    clear_playlist(ytmusic, playlist_id)
  File "./ytmusic.py", line 43, in clear_playlist
    playlist = ytmusic.get_playlist(id, limit=100)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ytmusicapi/ytmusic.py", line 721, in get_playlist
    playlist['description'] = header['description']['runs'][0]['text']
KeyError: 'description'

If I fill in a description via the web UI, the call works. After I remove the value in the web UI, the call fails again.
