cve-check: add json format
Backport to dunfell from master
df567de36ae5964bee433ebb97e8bf702034994a
Add an option to output the CVE check in a JSON-based format.
This format is easier to parse in software than the original
text-based one and allows post-processing by other tools.
Output formats are now handed by CVE_CHECK_FORMAT_TEXT and
CVE_CHECK_FORMAT_JSON. The text format is enabled by default
to maintain compatibility, while the JSON format is disabled
by default.
The JSON output format gets generated in a similar way to the
text format with the exception of the manifest: appending to
JSON arrays requires parsing the file. Because of that we
first write JSON fragments and then assemble them in one pass
at the end.
