Added Edit Notebook Metadata Option (#6402)

Edit Notebook Metadata plugin added under Edit Menu for functionality similar to classic-notebook.
Clicking on the option under the menu opens up the Notebook Tools widget in the right sidebar and expands the Additional Tools (which contains the Notebook Metadata editor) collapsible section (default: collapsed).
