This method handles metadata requests. (title, releaseInfo, poster, background, etc.)
args - request object; parameters described below
A promise resolving to an object containing { meta: {} } with a Meta Object
The resolving object can also include the following cache related properties:
{ cacheMaxAge: int } (in seconds) which sets the Cache-Control header to max-age=$cacheMaxAge and overwrites the global cache time set in serveHTTP options
{ staleRevalidate: int } (in seconds) which sets the Cache-Control header to stale-while-revalidate=$staleRevalidate
{ staleError: int } (in seconds) which sets the Cache-Control header to stale-if-error=$staleError
type - type of the item; e.g. movie, series, channel, tv (see Content Types)
id - string id of the meta item that is requested; these are set in the Meta Preview Object
config - object with user settings, see Manifest - User Data
