As part of defining and creating an execution environment, collection authors will be able to include system level dependencies in a new metadata file. AH will need to check if the file is present.

When present, the importer should lint the file and capture any errors and warnings. It should also ingest the file and store the contents in the database. The API should return the contents of the file in the collection details, and the UI should surface it as well.

See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mi04XC1AsWIVkYt-kWCNUWcK3cWnQhHZFijZlaOLLn8/edit?ts=5e1c45dc for the dependency metadata details.
