separate metadata and trace data #175

Currently metadata and traces are both stored in metadata.json.

This can be problematic, because sometimes the metadata needs to be refreshed (e.g., when working on data in a new directory, because of #156), which can currently only be done manually or by deleting the file (#152).

It would be nice to have metadata.json for everything but traces, and traces.json for traces. At least one of the files should track the other–probably at least the former should have the filename of the latter, maybe replacing a traces datatype with a traces_filename field, for most robust compatibility.
