Dan Tasse 8b7e13b0c6 docs: add comments about metadata conventions (#4054)
In LanceDB Enterprise, we've adopted these conventions to give some
"canonical" metadata paths. This lets us display them in a certain way
in the UI or let agents standardize on them, to assume they'll find info
in a certain place. This PR (only comments/docs) just documents those
choices.
