AthenaKernel, etc: Rename IMetaDataSvc to IAthMetaDataSvc.

Scott Snyder requested to merge ssnyder/athena:IAthMetaDataSvc.AthenaKernel-20240618 into main

To avoid conflicts with a different interface of the same name in Gaudi.

This was an ODR violation. Most of the time, things ended up working correctly, but this was causing a failure in a test of POOLRootAccess.

In principle, the same problem exists with MetaDataSvc itself, for which there is another class of the same name in GaudiSvc. However, renaming that is a much bigger lift, and it has not been observed to cause any problems in practice.

See ATEAM-994.
