The treatment of this section .metadata is exactly like .rodata,
the type modifiers are stripped. The resulting skeleton looks like:

  struct skel_with_metadata {
  	struct bpf_object_skeleton *skeleton;
  	struct bpf_object *obj;
  	struct {
  		struct bpf_map *metadata;
  	} maps;
  	[...]
  	struct skel_with_metadata__metadata {
  		char metadata_a[4];
  		int metadata_b;
  	} *metadata;
  };
