Migrate to MDN metadata.json #2151
Description
MDN has an API endpoint that gives summaries for each document: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/metadata.json
The data looks sufficient for this repository, and we can save a submodule (and prevent pain like #2137, also makes #2078 redundant)

We should store the metadata in inputfiles/ so that the build can be deterministic, and make an npm command to update it, and use it in the workflow.

Can I work on this?

Would you like it to write to the comments.json file, or create a new file? Also, if it creates a new file, will it be in our format or in the MDN format, requiring a parser for it?
