When CDK apps grow extremely large (think 10-100 stacks, 1000-10000 constructs), all metadata together begins to exceed 512MB, the maximum string size in NodeJS. People usually deal with this by disabling metadata, but they shouldn't have to. In addition, even for manifests that don't exceed 512MB the extremely large size of the single JSON object slows down its writing and reading every time, even if the metadata doesn't need to be accessed. An effective solution is to write the metadata of an artifact to a separate file. This PR introduces the ability for that into the Cloud Assembly schema, and updates the CLI to read from both sources if available. Relates to aws/aws-cdk#34480.
