version 7.2.19 has a backwards-incompatible change: client.put_object() metadata argument has changed

[brianhelba]

Prior to version 7.2.19, client.put_object() took a metadata keyword argument, with a type of minio.helpers.DictType | None (where minio.helpers.DictType was dict[str, str | list[str] | tuple[str]].

In version 7.2.19, the argument was renamed to user_metadata, with a type of urllib3.HTTPHeaderDict | None. minio.helpers.DictType was also removed.

---

This means that any downstream code using client.put_object() has to choose which version to support.

We have different methods in place to fix this via an upcoming v7.2.20 patch release, soon there will be more.

This doesn't appear to be fixed. #1542 was never merged.
