- remove the Metadata property from AssetBase and return all previous

  properties as before
- prefix private variables with m_ in AssetBase.cs
- related to Mantis #3122, as mentioned in
  https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/opensim-dev/2009-February/005088.html
- all services will likely need to be upgraded after this commit
