Description
The upcoming 2025.12.0 Connect release will allow including extra metadata fields with bundle uploads, including fields for source control (previously only used by Connect's "git-backed publishing" feature). We should extend the bundle upload function to take a list of metadata. I don't think that connectapi needs to assemble the metadata like by shelling out to git, as the publishing clients will, but it should be able to pass it along and switch upload methods if needed.

Research direction
Start by locating the bundle upload function and reading how it currently selects and sends upload methods. Add support for passing a metadata list through without assembling source-control metadata; done means supplied fields reach Connect and existing uploads remain compatible.
