[$70] [Metadata Management] keep entered data if error occurs during entity creating

[maxceem]

This issue is valid for all sections in the metadata: Project Templates, Products Templates, Project Types and so on...

Expected behavior

Entered data should persist in the form when a server-side error happens during some entity creating.

Actual behavior

Entered data is cleared in the form when a server-side error happens during some entity creating.

Steps to reproduce the problem

• Open any create page in the metadata section, for example new project template page http://local.topcoder-dev.com:3000/metadata/new-project-template.
• Fill the data, but enter some key which already exists in the DB to trigger a server-side error. For example key=app exists.
• Click Save button. You would see an error message from the server and form would be cleared, so we have to fill all the data again from the scratch.

For testing can use user pshah_manager which doesn't have permission to create any metadata templates. If we try to create a template with such user we would get an error YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSIONS TO PERFORM THIS ACTION and form would be cleared. But data in the form should stay when we get an error during template creating.

This issue has to be fixed for all sections:

@maxceem Yes, I have started setting up the project. Probably first one might take a bit longer. But have started looking into this.
