Programmatically Read/Write Custom Metadata to System in SystemLink

[CAC10268]

 Is there a programmatic way to read/write the custom metadata fields in a SystemLink managed system? I've looked at the SystemLink palette but do not see an obvious way to accomplish this.

This is far from complete, but I added a simple example on how to read the system metadata using the HTTP API.  You can get more information on the HTTP API if you click on the ? in SystemLink on the top right when you have the Systems Manager application open.

You would have to use the /v1/systems/managed/{id} route to update the metadata, however doing a PATCH in LV can be a little tricky.

Also parsing the properties dictionary will require some string parsing, because the normal Flatten from JSON doesn't support them.

I'll try to improve the example when I have some more time to work on it.
