Complete a QWAmetadata object with all optional fields

Adds missing optional columns to $images and to any already-present optional component tables. For absent hierarchical tables ($sites, $trees, $woodpieces, $slides), pre-fills known values from the hierarchy in $images (the same logic used by the metadata Shiny app). For absent flat tables ($dataset, $authors, $funding, $related), inserts a 0-row skeleton with all schema columns so the user can see the expected fields.

Arguments
