Add/Extend dataset_description.json:GeneratedBy with information about heudiconv/heuristic (if possible)/dcm2niix

ATM we are recording ad-hoc fields for heudiconv and dcm2niix does the same. Since released in BIDS 1.9.0

  • https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/pull/440 there is GeneratedBy which is already used by some datasets. We should start using it as well
  • while aggregating task- files I guess we should gather records and see if we should add/extend/update records in dataset_description.json . Might be tricky to do reliably but we should try.

Trickier would be to annotate the heuristic since we do not have consistent "naming" or "versioning" mechanism for them if they are not coming from heudiconv and later to reassess their identity/version from a copy under .heudiconv/. So may be we should add some versioning way etc.
