refactor(metadata): generate all metadata in lua

Then we can just load metadata in C as a single msgpack blob. Which also
can be used directly as binarly data, instead of first unpacking all the
functions and ui_events metadata to immediately pack it again, which was
a bit of a silly walk (and one extra usecase of `msgpack_rpc_from_object`
which will get yak shaved in the next PR)
