fixes #1356

_write_json is used a lot in the MNE-BIDS codebase... I want to get your feedback on whether adding a new parameter ensure_ascii=False to _write_tsv is the right way to go?

Because I'm not sure if there are cases in MNE-BIDS where we do want to enforce ASCII encoding during JSON writing.. If so, we could change the default to ensure_ascii=True, and pass False explicitly for the cases where we want to support UTF-8?

I don't think we want to convert to ASCII for any JSON we're writing to disk. Hence, we don't need a parameter to control this behavior :)

TIL: That json.loads will always convert unicode. So to test that unicode was properly encoded while writing to disk, I had to had to just read the text on disk without the json module

LGTM, nice adaptation of the existing test. One suggested improvement, see below

Instead of closing and re-opening the file, rewind the "playhead" to the start of the open file, then use fid.read() as usual
