The first version of the metadata parser was one big file that tried to do everything, so it was a bit messy and buggy. This PR is a rewrite into a separate Scanner, Parser and Matcher class.

The metadata format also slightly changed; the old version used regular expressions but "?" and "*" acted as glob wildcards; the new version uses actual glob patterns.
