Fixes #7708
Issue
Fluent-bit converts empty array into empty map.
Lua table represents array and map and we can't determine when a table is empty.
Solution
Lua supports metatable and this patch is to append metatable to save data type.
https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#2.8
Note:
metatable is for Lua table and userdata since other types share a single metatable for the type.
