Companion to malloydata/malloy#3117, which adds the dbmeta connection property. Please merge after it.

  • Adds dbmeta to the BigQuery parameter table.
  • Adds a short "Database metadata" subsection: how to turn it on, what the #(dbmeta) annotation looks like, that it is off unless set and covers tables and columns, that doc strings written in the model are kept alongside it, and that query results never change.

Markdown only; no Malloy code blocks are added.

Companion to malloydata/malloy#3117: the new dbmeta property copies table
and column descriptions onto the schema as #(dbmeta) annotations.
