Description
### Expected behavior
Let’s say I have an existing Logger.Metadata struct I want to add to a Logger as metadata. It doesn’t seem like there is a simple function like `Logger.withMetadata(metadata: Logger.Metadata)` I can use. This means I have to iterate through every kv pair in my Logger.Metadata and add it to the logger with `logger[key] = value`, which is verbose.
(this `withMetadata` pattern is common in many logging libraries, so it would be great to have this as a convenience function in swift-log as well)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the existing Logger.Metadata type and Logger metadata APIs in swift-log, then inspect how similar convenience methods are tested. Done means providing a Logger.withMetadata(metadata:) API that accepts multiple metadata values without requiring callers to iterate through key-value pairs, with tests covering the behavior.
