Avoid attempts to override AOT generated query method metadata.

Prior to this change regenerating repository instances for eg. test execution caused trouble when trying to override existing json metadata files. We now back off in case of existing files and added an explicit config flag for users to opt out of having the metadata file being present in the target resources.

Original pull request: #3355
Closes #3354
