Subject: [PATCH] Provide an example of meta in dbt_project (#2270)

## Description & motivation
<!---
Describe your changes, and why you're making them. Is this linked to an
open
issue, a pull request on dbt core, etc?

To learn more about the writing conventions used in the dbt Labs docs,
see the [Content style
guide](https://github.com/dbt-labs/docs.getdbt.com/blob/current/contributing/content-style-guide.md).

It took me a while to figure out why my `meta` tag wasn't being captured
in the dbt_project file. I needed it nested under the `config` block. I
think it would have helped if there was an example of that.

(I deleted all the checklists as it didn't seem like they were needed
for this PR)
