entity_metadata.json for 1.8

This is still largely unverified/untested. It would be nice if someone could look it over.

The format is mostly made up. Please comment if you have any improvements on it.

There was some talk about the format in #72 already, the major difference being that the fields are objects instead of arrays, like this:

"fields": [
 { 
   "index":17,
   "type":"int",
   "meaning":"Shaking Power"
  }
]

I personally prefer objects over arrays here because of extensibility and readability.

Yes I agree with @Gjum
Also the bitmasks values are missing (for example http://wiki.vg/Entities#Guardian )
It could be done with a format like

[
  {
    "bitMask":"0x02",
    "displayName":"is retracting spikes",
    "name":"isRetractingSpikes"
  }
  {
    "bitMask":"0x04",
    "displayName":"is elderly",
    "name":"isElderly"
  }
]

as a "values" property of each entity_metadata item.

But we don't have to do that for the first pass of that file.

oh why delete this ?
well I kind of understand, it was in master branch, but could you get back the commits, put it in another branch and re-open a pr ?
