Added

Metadata import, reingest and validation in XML

This is a new set of features that allows users to include metadata files in XML and have them parsed into the AIP METS file. Optionally, the metadata files can also be validated against an external or local schema. It also has improved the handling of updating or deleting metadata on reingest.
