msgpack-rpc: Refactor API metadata discovery method

A new method is now exposed via msgpack-rpc: "get_api_metadata". This method has
the same job as the old method '0', it returns an object with API metadata for
use by generators.

There's one difference in the return value though: instead of returning a
string containing another serialized msgpack document, the metadata object is
returned directly(a separate deserialization step by clients is not required).
