Convenient constructor for Metadata constants.

Usage:

const _: Metadata = metadata! {
    method: GET, // one of the associated constants of http::Method
    rate_limited: true,
    authentication: AccessToken, // one of the variants of api::AuthScheme

    // history of endpoint paths
    // there must be at least one path but otherwise everything is optional
    history: {
        unstable => "/_matrix/foo/org.bar.msc9000/baz",
        unstable => "/_matrix/foo/org.bar.msc9000/qux",
        1.0 => "/_matrix/media/r0/qux",
        1.1 => "/_matrix/media/v3/qux",
        1.2 => deprecated,
        1.3 => removed,
    }
};
