[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Implement --json query format (PR #2913)

[Panu Matilainen]

The existing --xml output is extremely useful when inspecting oddities but the format is such an eyesore. JSON is much saner to look at.

Details in the commits and their messages, but the first commits are just refactoring to make this feasible. The actual feature in the last commit is quite small, as often happens the tests are bigger than the actual patch.
