np.asscalar() is deprecated and prevents the metadata from being saved in some experiments

[nvbln]

I got the following error trace whilst saving the metadata in Stytra after the experiment finished:

It seems that the prepare_json() function relies on a deprecated Numpy function. The fix seems relatively easy: change return np.asscalar(it) to return it.item().

I tested it, and I can confirm that the metadata file is saved again as before. However, I didn't check the file contents to see if the output has changed.
