Add costing metadata to patterns #462

Every data product, workflow, and similar digital asset requires resources to generate.

Typically, this costing is invisible to all except those very close to the asset.

We should add a sub-pattern across patterns to include how much the asset cost to generate (e.g. person months, compute time, carbon equivalents, etc)

This will revolutionise distributed datascape assessment in ODIS-linked systems.

This will be a component of accurate value chain representation
