Description

The old get_json_metadata() core API is superseded by other APIs and we should remove it along with some of its tests.

To remove them, we have to migrate some of the fbcode users.

Research direction

Start in src/torchcodec/decoders/_core/video_decoder_ops.py at get_json_metadata() and inspect the related tests in test/decoders/test_video_decoder_ops.py around lines 258-289. Identify the fbcode users that must migrate before removing the API and its tests. Done means those users are migrated and the obsolete API and tests are removed.
