v2: Move metautils to it's own package

[bwplotka]

This is the package that allows to pass things across gRPC peers. You mention @johanbrandhorst some other methods for this 🤔 Is there something or should we maintain it here?

[johanbrandhorst]

I think this is written on top of gRPC metadata? It should still be relevant in that case.

[bwplotka]

It is indeed.

Cool, let's move it out of utils then!

Hi @bwplotka and @johanbrandhorst, I'd like to work on this issue. Just to confirm the metautils needs to be moved outside utils to the root and the references need to be updated right?

[bwplotka]

Correct, just while you are doing this, can you just double check if all method names, comments make sense too? Would be nice to clean this before v2 release (while we can) 🤗

Also some better package name might be needed. The metadata is the original name on gRPC package that this one wraps. niceMD is not the best name as .... what nice means? Let's be more focused. Some name that exactly tells what it's added on top of original metadata package would be amazing (don't have idea right now). Feel free to propose something in the PR @gunadhya 🤗

Thanks!

Oh, and make sure you to start from v2 branch and you point your PR to v2 (it has to be done manually for now on GitHub UI)

[gunadhya]

Some changes to metautils were made since v2 got created as shown here -> master and v2
I found this and was just wondering if git checkout master -- dirname is the right way to update the package files or is there a better way to do this?

You need to rebase your branch and start working on top of the current changes.

Hi @bwplotka , as the issue has been idle for a while, I've raised a PR for this change.

Please have a look and let me know if there are any suggested changes.
