writeFileInfoJson: (internal) Write file info json

In jameslhao/dbgapr_dev: A dbGaP Phenotype Data Organizer

Description

The method takes the attribute set of a phenotype file, converts it to a data frame, and saves it a json file, which is composed through composeFileInfoJson. (Developer's notes: This function only appends a new item to the existing json file. It does not deal with replacing existing items. That is because the existing json file (pht_file_info_indiv.json) is removed and recreated every time when it is called by recordPrjFileInfo.
