Resource-specific meta (#845)

* Replaced calls to serviceProvider.GetService with GetRequiredService where possible.

* Fixed invalid test name

* Improved top-level meta test

* Added resource-specific meta; converted tests

* Post-merge fixes

* Review: use overridden ResourceObjectBuilder.Build method instead of passing a boolean flag

* added registration to docs

 # Metadata
 
-Top-level metadata can be added to your API responses in two ways: globally and per resource type. In the event of a key collision, the resource meta will take precendence.
+We support two ways to add json:api meta to your responses: global and per resource.
 
 ## Global Meta
 
-Global metadata can be added by registering a service that implements `IResponseMeta`.
+Global metadata can be added to the root of the response document by registering a service that implements `IResponseMeta`.
 This is useful if you need access to other registered services to build the meta object.
