Description

sync.GetMetadata was deprecated in favor of SyncFlagsResponse.sync_context (#1584), and flagd has emitted sync_context since #1642.

This tracks removing the RPC, its handler, and the message from the sync proto. Breaking change to flagd.sync.v1 (feat!:).

Research direction

Search the sync proto and its handler for sync.GetMetadata, then trace references to the deprecated RPC and message. Confirm that sync_context remains the replacement described in #1584 and that flagd has emitted it since #1642. Done means the RPC, handler, and message are removed without leaving references to the old API.
