Description
I've generated a MBtiles using tilelive-copy but I cannot upload to my Mapbox account. When processing it says:
```
Vector source must include "vector_layers" key
```
Is it normal that metadata and keymap tables are empties?
Do you see something wring here?
```
./tilelive-copy --bounds=-180,-85,180,85 --minzoom=2 --maxzoom=6 --metatile=8 \
bridge:///Users/alasarr/dev/tilelive.js/bin/sample.xml \
mbtiles:///Users/alasarr/dev/tilelive.js/bin/sample_vectortile.mbtiles
```

Research direction
Start with the tilelive-copy command and the referenced bin/sample.xml, then inspect the generated bin/sample_vectortile.mbtiles database, especially its metadata and keymap tables. Compare the generated contents with the Mapbox error requiring a vector_layers key; done means determining whether the command produces a compatible upload or documenting the missing requirement.
