### Rationale for this change - `field()` in R unlike Python does not support field-level metadata. ### What changes are included in this PR? - New active bindings on `Field`: `$HasMetadata`, `$metadata` - New methods on Field: `$WithMetadata()`, `$RemoveMetadata()` - New `check_metadata` parameter in `Field$Equals()`, defaulting to FALSE - Tests for the above ### Are these changes tested? - Yes, unit tests have been added, the functionality was also tested locally in R ### Are there any user-facing changes? - Yes, metadata= now works without throwing an error. - No breaking changes, since this was already included but errored before and parameter order was not changed in the implementation. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
