Access the Kotlin metadata API through reflection.
This means we don't need a dependency on that API when building AutoValue. Therefore users can freely supply the version of the API that corresponds to the actual Kotlin version they are using. The downside is that they may need to add that dependency explicitly when previously they were getting it through AutoValue. (But possibly getting the wrong version.)
Fixes #1574.
RELNOTES=AutoValue no longer has an explicit dependency on the Kotlin Metadata API. You may need to add an explicit dependency on `org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-metadata-jvm. The reason for this change is to avoid problems that occurred when the version of the API that AutoValue bundles was different from the version that the user code expected. See #1574.
