Product Fields Auto-Generation Including HTML for meta fields

[nigelcopley]

When reviewing products on the live site, i can see that the meta desciption is being generated to include html tags rather than just plain text which results in a random display of content on product pages.

By default auto settings feature copy the entire description to meta-description including tags, fast solution should be remove/filter in attribute backend (before save)

magento 2.0.9

steps to reproduce:

1. create a new product and insert a description with some html code inside
2. save the product
3. check the field "meta description", it contains some html tags

I think while copying the data from description it should clean the code
