The new SQLite softoken backend supports the MetaData feature, allowing for example to sign a template of key attributes. The issue is that database records may only be added and never deleted, even if the related key is destroyed, so the metaData table grows indefinitely.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create and destroy an object (for example with C_GenerateKeyPair followed by C_DestroyObject)


Actual Results:  
metaData table is filled with new entries, while nssPrivate isn't

Expected Results:  
metaData shouldn't contain new entries, as nssPrivate
This affects private browsing, clear recent history, forget about this site, etc. in Firefox.
