Julien Fortin d0e720111a ip: ipaddress.c: add support for json output
This patch converts all output (mostly fprintfs) to the new ip_print api
which handle both regular and json output.
Initialize a json_writer and open an array object if -json was specified.
Note that the JSON attribute naming follows the NETLINK_ATTRIBUTE naming.

In many places throughout the code, IP, matches integer values with
hardcoded strings tables, such as link mode, link operstate or link
family.
In JSON context, this will result in a named string field. In the
very unlikely event that the requested index is out of bound, IP
displays the raw integer value. For JSON context this result in
having a different integer field example bellow:

if (mode >= ARRAY_SIZE(link_modes))
	print_int(PRINT_ANY, "linkmode_index", "mode %d ", mode);
else
	print_string(PRINT_ANY, "linkmode", "mode %s ",
		     link_modes[mode]);

The "_index" suffix is open to discussion and it is something that I came
up with. The bottom line is that you can't have a string field that may
become an int field in specific cases. Programs written in strongly type
languages (like C) might break if they are expecting a string value and
got an integer instead. We don't want to confuse anybody or make the code
even more complicated handling these specifics cases.
Hence the extra "_index" field that is easy to check for and deal with.

JSON schema, followed by live example:

Live config used:
$ ip link add dev vxlan42 type vxlan id 42
$ ip link add dev bond0 type bond
$ ip link add name swp1.50 link swp1 type vlan id 50
$ ip link add dev br0 type bridge
$ ip link set dev vxlan42 master br0
$ ip link set dev bond0 master br0
$ ip link set dev swp1.50 master br0
$ ip link set dev br0 up

README

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

Information:

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
