Normally during metadata compilation we use
`K2MetadataCompiler` and it serializes
metadata to klibs without generating IR.
Native shared compilation uses the K2Native
compiler, which generates klibs based on both
the fir and fir2ir information.
It would be nice to reuse `K2MetadataCompiler`
for native shared, but currently it has no
support for the commonizer, and also reads
the stdlib metadata from a jar instead of a
klib, and there's no simple idiomatic way
to pass the `distribution.klib` value down
to `KLibResolverHelper` (native compilation
has some commonized dependencies, and they
explicitly depend on `stdlib`, so we must
resolve it this way or strip it away to be
able to use the metadata jar instead). There
may be other issues, I only digged a bit.
Instead, this change modifies the K2Native
in such a way that it can generate klibs
with metadata without fir2ir info.
Note that this change does not fix KT-58139,
because KT-58139 fails due to performing the
constants evaluation directly during the
metadata serialization when the needed info
does (and, as I was told, should) not exist
(namely, valid property initializers).
