Title: Removing Extra Slashes When Order Meta is Saved in Admin

Under [certain conditions](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2496455/why-are-post-variables-getting-escaped-in-php) it's possible for the server to add extra slashes to the order item meta that's being saved on the admin pages. This can happen every time the order is saved and can break the item order meta.

You can add a simple [stripslashes function](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php) call and that fixes it.
