Description

I'd like to be able to easily and persistently store EvalOutput results to e.g. local disk or NoSQL databases like DynamoDB... And ideally also load them back into fmeval/Python objects.

There are [several](https://www.benfrederickson.com/dont-pickle-your-data/) [good](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2121874/python-pickling-after-changing-a-modules-directory) [reasons](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6687262/how-do-i-know-which-versions-of-pickle-a-particular-version-of-python-supports) why I'd prefer to avoid just using pickle... and JSON seems like a natural fit for this kind of data, but we can't simply `json.dumps()` an `EvalOutput` object today.

It would be useful if we offered a clear mechanism to save the evaluation summary/scores to JSON, and ideally load back from JSON as well.

Research direction

Start by locating the EvalOutput classes and the evaluation summary and score fields they expose. Define a stable JSON representation that can be saved to local disk or a NoSQL store and loaded back into fmeval/Python objects; done means the format and round-trip behavior are clear and usable.
