Handle more complex metadata in NWB files #1502

This PR attempts to address the problems in #1413.

It is a work in progress. The first commit lets the example script run through without errors on my machine, but I plan to take more time to check that the Neo data are an accurate representation of the NWB file contents.

Hey, thanks for looking into this.

Indeed, now I can load the .nwb -files from the DANDI archives without errors.

I get some warnings and 542 neo.SpikeTrain and 4 neo.IrregularlySampledSignal objects.

Unfortunately I don't know what to expect, I was trying to inspect the .nwb file using the pynwb package.
