This adds support for PEP658 "core metadata", which can be used by dependency resolvers like pip or Poetry to quickly fetch package metadata without having to download and extract the wheel.
I originally wrote this branch a while ago, but discovered pypa/pip#12038 and pypa/pip#12042 which made it impossible to implement without breaking pip. This led to the creation of https://peps.python.org/pep-0714/ which renames the key and makes it possible to implement again.
