mc_read_data( ) custom metadata in localities table

how it works now: it is not allowed to upload user metadata in mc_read_data
. You have to first read data with several allowed metadata slots (elevation, coordinates, locality id) and after reading use mc_prep_meta_locality
and import user metadata as list of R objects. Not only data.frames but also e.g. species compositions, dissimilarity matrices, spatial data, licenses...
how it should work newly: when user in mc_read_data
provides additional columns besides defaults in localities_table the columns are written in custom_metadta slot as data.frame.
