FR: add a metadata hook

[ofek]

https://hatch.pypa.io/dev/plugins/metadata-hook/reference/

I wanted make a PR to switch https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/blob/master/setup.py

I could do a custom but this would fit nicely here 🙂

@ofek thanks! Could you explain the motivation for this, i.e. what does a metadata hook do? :)

[ofek]

It modifies https://hatch.pypa.io/dev/config/metadata/

Example: https://github.com/facelessuser/pymdown-extensions/blob/bcfc7af83957871341674264e45f85cc7c6c7ea9/hatch_build.py#L30-L52

The part that I don't understand is what this would add vs. using the existing version plugin. Is it to enable us to do something like https://github.com/facelessuser/pymdown-extensions/blob/bcfc7af83957871341674264e45f85cc7c6c7ea9/hatch_build.py#L38 ?

From OP: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/blob/7cb9d7b2b957cb64fee584e154005391c8ca0a63/setup.py#L42-L53

I was about to port it to Hatchling but realized it pulls many things from package.json

@ofek 2d72fb8 adds this tentatively. Could you try it out with your repository?

[ofek]

Works! Try python -m build on https://github.com/ofek/mkdocs-material/tree/modernize-metadata

[agoose77]

Fab, that helped me catch a mistake on my part!
