New "metadata" schema in SpatialMetadata database

Hello all

The "SpatialMetadata" database created by Apache SIS contained only one
schema, "EPSG". The recent commit on the JDK8 branch adds another
schema, "metadata". That schema is aimed to contains some information
about file formats, data producers, etc., stored in structures close to
ISO 19115. Currently some of those information are hard-coded in the
Java code. The intend is to move some of those data from Java code to
the database, which would make easier to expand on them for providing
rich metadata.

The current content of the "metadata" schema is very small [1], but this
content should expand in the future.
