When creating or updating nodes in passes, the metadata is not preserved nor updated correctly. This patch adds an ArmPass base class which may update the node metadata if super().call_operator(update=True) is used. It also adds functionality to arm_pass_utils.create_node() to update the node metadata. It will only update the 'stack_trace' field. All the other fields will be preserved from the original node.
