Description

We are still storing metatype.properties files under OSGI-INF/metatype, which is a spec violation. At the moment causes error log messages, e.g.

06.12.2017 10:12:04.091 *ERROR* [qtp1614077867-67] org.apache.felix.metatype fromDocuments: Error accessing document bundle://94.1:0/OSGI-INF/metatype/org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.security.authentication.ldap.impl.LdapProviderConfig.properties : XML parsing exception while reading metadata: unterminated entity ref (position:TEXT #Mon Dec 04 19:5...@2:202 in bundle://94.1:0/OSGI-INF/metatype/org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.security.authentication.ldap.impl.LdapProviderConfig.properties) 

and is outright rejected by newer SCR tooling.

We should move these files to OSGI-INF/l10n instead.
