Implement `/metadata` REST API endpoint

See GitLab account @timofurrerrequested to merge
tuxtimo/gitlab:feature/metadata-rest-api into master

This change set implements a new /metadata REST API endpoint by leveraging the already existing GraphQL Query.metadata. Therefore, this endpoint is inherently on par with the GraphQL API.

This new endpoint somewhat makes the already existing /version REST API endpoint obsolete. The reason for not just extending the /version endpoint with the missing metadata is because the GraphQL API also uses the metadata wording for that endpoint. I think the more consistency the better here.

A follow up may (???) therefore properly deprecate the /version REST API endpoint in favor of the new /metadata endpoint.
