upload-metadata not working
Metadata
Current evaluation
upload-metadata command fails with unrecognized arguments; push-metadata works. Issue stems from command renaming and documentation inconsistency.
Suggested action: close not a bug
Reason: The `upload-metadata` command was renamed to `push-metadata`, which is the current working command. The issue stems from documentation inconsistency (the referenced blog post still uses the old name) rather than a code bug. The behavior is working as intended.

Issue body
push-metadata works
merlijn@howard:~/Projects/signal-desktop$ snapcraft push-metadata signal-desktop_5.57.0_amd64.snap
Uploading metadata from 'signal-desktop_5.57.0_amd64.snap'
The metadata has been uploaded
upload-metadata doesn't work
merlijn@howard:~/Projects/signal-desktop$ snapcraft upload-metadata signal-desktop_5.57.0_amd64.snap
Usage: snapcraft [options] command [args]...
Try 'snapcraft upload-metadata -h' for help.
Error: unrecognized arguments: signal-desktop_5.57.0_amd64.snap
I think a lot of people will use upload-metadata instead of push-metadata since upload-metadata is talked about in this blog post: https://snapcraft.io/blog/better-snap-metadata-handling-coming-your-way-soon
