Description

Application, Session, RequestCycle, and Component all have #setMetadata and #getMetadata methods, but lack some super object to unify them all.
These leads to annoying complex code if you wish to implement some extra functionality.

I propose that we unify them all with one interface.
I've attached a mock idea that would solve it, and I'll work on a prototype and submit a PR so anyone can take a look.

I'll add a comment here with the PR number.
