interface ClassMetadataInterface in Plug 7

Stores all metadata needed for validating objects of specific class.

Most importantly, the metadata stores the constraints against which an object and its properties should be validated.

Additionally, the metadata stores whether the "Default" group is overridden by a group sequence for that class and whether instances of that class should be traversed or not.
