`register_meta()` has been altered to accept an array of arguments as the third parameter in order to support its usage beyond XML-RPC, notably in the REST API and other projects that may build on top of meta, such as a potential Fields API. Arguments are whitelisted to reserve the right for core to add more later.
New functions added to complement this expansion are:
* `registered_meta_key_exists()`
* `unregister_meta_key()`
* `get_registered_meta_keys()`
* `get_registered_metadata()`
* A "private" function for the aforementioned whitelisting.
There still need to be lots of tests written for previous and new behaviors, and many things are subject to change. Maybe things will explode. #yolo
