When using metalsmith-metadata with watchers like watch() or browserSync() that perform partial rebuilds of content, the plugin throws errors because the json/yaml files it's looking for aren't part of the partial bundle of files. However, in these cases, we're generally ok, because the work has already been done and the key exists in the metadata already.
This pull request makes it so the plugin passes safely in this case, while still parsing and proceeding with overwriting an existing key if the json/yaml file in question is in the file list passed to it. It also adds tests for this behavior.
