fix(api): preserve ArrayOf metadata #40429

Browse Source 
ArrayOf metadata existed before the LuaCATS type documentation refactor and is
useful to typed clients consuming api_info().

Keep Tuple metadata normalized to Array, since tuple element types can be mixed,
but preserve ArrayOf(...) for exported API metadata.

Fixes #38734
