Design properties: project, author and licence in the design, its exports and inspect_design (#1015) (#1189)

A design carries metadata (format 21): project, part number, revision, author, organization, description and license, plus other tools' data under reverse-DNS keys, kept as written. Edited in the Design Properties window (Document Settings), set by document.metadata.set, reported by inspect_design, and written into STEP, IGES and 3MF where the format has a place for them. Translated, with tests.

## Design properties (#1015)
- Designs carry project, part number, revision, author, organization, description and licence
in an optional `metadata` object (File → Design Properties…, `document.metadata.*`,
`inspect_design`). STEP and IGES headers and 3MF model metadata take the fields their format
has a place for. Other tools keep their own data under a reverse-DNS key, kept as it is
through open, edit and save and never exported. See [design properties](docs/book/src/guide/files.md#design-properties).
Per-component properties (a part number per component) can follow with the same type.
