Support metadata properties outside wptrunner

For each CI system we run in there's a set of metadata properties
required to distinguish different configurations. For example on
GitHub when running infrastructure tests, that's the browser product
name, whereas in vendor CI it's typically different platform
configurations.

Until now the properties used when updating the metadata have been
stored in the browser product definition in wptrunner. But given they
vary per system that doesn't make much sense. Instead it should be
possible to pass in the properties relevant to the metadata being
updated.

To do that this PR adds the concept of a "metadata properties"
file. That's a JSON file of the form

{
"property": ["name"],
"dependent": {"name": ["other"]}
}

which specifies which properties can be used for update (this matches
the data format of the update_properties functions in wptrunner
products).

By default a file name update_properties.json in the root metadata
will be used to specify the properties. This makes sense since it puts
the properties together with the relevant metadata on the filesystem.

For now reading the properties from wptrunner is still supported,
because users need time to transition to the new format. But the
intent is to remove that later.
