[Bug]: Message key in metadata overwrites original message

The problem

The readme states:

NOTE: any { message } property in a meta object provided will automatically be concatenated to any msg already provided: For example the below will concatenate 'world' onto 'hello':

logger.log('error', 'hello', { message: 'world' });
logger.info('hello', { message: 'world' });

Expected result:

info: hello world

Actual result:

info: world

It seems that instead of concatenating, the first message is replaced.

What version of Winston presents the issue?

3.7.0

What version of Node are you using?

16.19.1

If this worked in a previous version of Winston, which was it?

No response

Minimum Working Example

logger.error('my message', { message: 'concat this' });

Thanks for the report @adamrdavid & the MWE. Given this is metadata related I'll be adding it to #2029 for tracking there.
