json_writer: new routines to create JSON data
Add "struct json_writer" and a series of jw_ routines to compose JSON
data into a string buffer. The resulting string may then be printed by
commands wanting to support a JSON-like output format.
The json_writer is limited to correctly formatting structured data for
output. It does not attempt to build an object model of the JSON data.
We say "JSON-like" because we do not enforce the Unicode (usually UTF-8)
requirement on string fields. Internally, Git does not necessarily have
Unicode/UTF-8 data for most fields, so it is currently unclear the best
way to enforce that requirement. For example, on Linux pathnames can
contain arbitrary 8-bit character data, so a command like "status" would
not know how to encode the reported pathnames. We may want to revisit
this (or double encode such strings) in the future.
