ref: Add -v23.metadata, which dumps metadata for the binary.
The metadata package is a map from string ids to string values,
and provides a mechanism to set the ldflags on the go toolchain
to get metadata linked into your binary during build time. It
also provides utilities to insert more metadata in package init
functions, and to convert into XML and base64.
Every binary built with the metadata package will now
automatically get a flag -v23.metadata, which dumps the metadata
for the program binary in XML.
The format looks like this:
<metadata>
<md id="build.Manifest"><![CDATA[
<manifest label="">
<imports></imports>
<projects>
<project exclude="false" name="release.go.v23"...
...
</projects>
<tools></tools>
</manifest>
