As discussed today at great length in the Nix meeting, we don't want to
break the format, but we also don't want to impede the improvement of
JSON formats. The solution is to add a new flag for control the output
format.
Note that prior to the release, we may want to replace `--json
--json-format N` with `--json=N`, but this is being left for a separate
PR, as we don't yet have `=` support for CLI flags.
