Write metadata files for VBN release

[danielsf]

Once we have code to write the metadata files required for the VBN release, we need to generate the metadata files. Note that this will be blocked by NWB generation since the metadata files will need to include a path to the NWB files for publishing (this is a requirement of the informatics_data_release tools)

List of sessions for release can be found in ecephys_etl_pipelines issue 38

As of 5/9/2022: Example input.jsons for the metadata writing module can be found

/allen/programs/mindscope/workgroups/np-behavior/vbn_data_release/metadata_input_jsons

(note that you will still need to specify an output_dir).

The metadata writing module can be called with

python -m allensdk.brain_observatory.vbn_2022.metadata_writer --input_json my_input.json
