Proposal: Make setting bug-url and homepage metadata policy

Good morning,

I'd like to propose a policy change as a for incoming new charms. The
homepage and bugs-url fields are used to point users to where they can file
bugs, and where they can find the source code to the charm. The store uses
these fields to generate the page for each charm on jujucharms.com.

Some promulgated charms are missing this (kubernetes and keystone for
example), so I'd like to encourage charm authors to set these two fields
with charm set:

    charm set wordpress bugs-url=https://bugspageforwordpress.none
    charm set wordpress homepage=https://homepageforwordpress.none

You can also tack a --channel on there, see:
https://jujucharms.com/docs/2.0/tools-charm-tools

I'd like to propose a new policy to submission to the charm store metadata
guidelines:
https://jujucharms.com/docs/stable/authors-charm-policy#metadata-guidelines

    MUST include bug reporting URL and homepage URL link to the source code
in metadata.

While a bunch of charms written before this feature do put this sort of
information in the bottom of the readme I would like to get us filling out
the metadata for programmatic reasons and visibility on the charm's page in
the store.
