Migrate from our arbitrary-json to ACE-json format

[istfer]

Our app currently formats data into a json file that adopts ICASA vocabulary but not exactly the ACE (AgMIP Crop Experiment) format that AgMIP uses.

It would be quite neat if we already store data in ACE format under the hood. The biggest difference is that we use Variable_name whereas ACE uses the codes on the ICASA table, see ACE example files here.

This will make all data collected via the app directly compatible with AgMIP activities.

Additional note, ACEB format (B for binary) is just a gzipped json file.

Let's also remember to put in a couple of metadata fields (e.g. site_name, plot_id) to make the each json file more stand-alone.
