Description

At the moment its not possible to create a seed file and specify any metadata when using the REST API. The file gets created but there is no option to add any metadata to the seed URLs.

If we use a payload like this:

{
    "name":"name-of-seedlist", 
    "seedUrls":[
        {
            "url" : "http://example.com",
            "metadata" : {
                "key1" : "value1",
                "key2" : "value2",
                "key3" : "value3"
            }
        }
    ]
}

It should be easy to specify the desired metadata. Also this should keep BC with the previous array syntax if we only want to specify the list of URLs without any metadata at all.
