Description
**Feature request**
We introduced `metadata` and `metadata_fields` to support additional data provided to visualization. We would like to move to a paradigm where the information in the metadata table can be used for training/inference as well, and access that information in the same way that we access images, spectra, or time series data. e.g. with `get_(indx)` methods.
Once we have made those modifications, we should be able to remove the metadata machinery in dataset classes, and in `DataProvider` etc.
The point of this issue is to resolve the questions about metadata and metadata_fields and remove the methods and machinery if possible.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the dataset classes and DataProvider references to `metadata` and `metadata_fields`, then resolve how metadata will be exposed for training and inference alongside images, spectra, or time series. Done means the replacement access pattern is agreed and the obsolete metadata methods and machinery are removed.
