vapi metadata metamodel: element map

The element_map structure contains the metadata elements.

One of the sources for metadata is the annotations present in the interface definition language. When an annotation is represented in the element_map, element_map describes the data specified in the arguments for the annotation.

For example, in @UnionCase(tag="tag", value="SELECT"), ElementMap describes the keyword arguments tag and value.
