Inconsistent json format caused by inconsistent hash keys

[alexpop]

When executing a profile from inspec 0.27.0, the json formatted output shows the results of each control under profiles > PROFILE_NAME > controls > CONTROL_NAME > results. Field other_checks is []

When executing the same profile from the audit cookbook, the json formatted output is missing the results field inside the controls, with the other_checks field now containing the results.

I tracked the issue inside lib/inspec/runner.rb where options['metadata'] is nil when executing the profile via the audit cookbook. This causes profile_id to remain nil.

pry output when executing the profile using the audit cookbook:

Both runs work fine if I access the metadata via options[:metadata], as added in the add_profile method.
