To support programmatic JSON assembly while keeping the code that generates it
readable, this patch introduces a simple JSON writer. It emits JSON serially
into a buffer in memory.

The nice thing about this writer is its simplicity and low memory overhead.
Unlike the QMP JSON writer, this one does not need to spawn QObjects for every
element it wants to represent.

This is a prerequisite for the migration stream format description generator.
