PPTX writer: support notes field in metadata for title slide (#11396)
This adds support for a `notes` field in the YAML metadata block
that will be used as speaker notes for the title slide in PowerPoint
output.
Previously, there was no way to add speaker notes to the title slide
since it is generated from metadata rather than from content blocks.
The `::: notes` syntax only works for content slides.
Example usage:
---
title: My Presentation
notes: |
Welcome everyone to this presentation.
Remember to introduce yourself.
---
Closes #5844 (for PPTX output).
