Change the description to reflect that it does not have to be JSON, just an arbitrary string data.

Helpstring was constraining metadata to JSON format which is not necessary. Plain strings could also be used here.

As discussed in #593 , a new metadata field is created to be able to pass a JSON string to ibom. This string can be used to add metadata (i.e. drawing-number or engineer name) to the ibom using the customization feature. The user-file-examples
user.jsanduserheader.htmlwere extended to serve as examples for this new metadata field.
