Cannot use string or symbol as ModelIdentifier

Describe the issue

When using a string or a symbol as a model identifier, the getMetadataList will fail. It will definitely call Reflect.getMetadata which throws for non-object targets. Since it gets called with the Symbol/String as a target, the IsObject check will fail in the reflect-metadata package.

Steps to reproduce

Create a mapping configuration with a symbol or string as model identifier.

Expected behavior

If the identifier is a string or a symbol, no metadata should be expected. It just acts as an identifier.
