Metadata

The _metadata.yml file is now optional. Many metadata options can now be specified in the templates themselves, rather than in a separate _metadata file.

Even if a metadatafile is specified, metadata for each token is now optional. Any tokens that are not specified in the metadata file, but are found in a template, will now have metadata created for them using default property values.

If a metadata file is specified and metadata is specified in the template, then the metadata file takes precedence for any properties specified in both files for the same token.
