Metadata feature

[jhonny111s]

On many occasions we want to be able to add general information to our changelog, and we can obtain that metadata from git config and from the package. In this case I would like to receive feedback to make this feature safe.

This would be a subset of information that we could obtain in metadata

{
      now: "20 January 2021",
      version: "1.0.0",
      name: "my-repository",
      description: "description-repository",
      user: { name: "John Doe", email: "John.Doe@domain.com" }
}

see template-metadata

why lodash and not Object.assign?

using lodash is a CVE magnet; please use lodash.merge instead.
