lschp: Support for structured output

Introduce a new command line flag ("--format") to specify the output
format. Valid options are "pairs" for shell-compatible key
value pairs, "csv" for CSV, "json" for a formatted JSON document, and
"json-seq" for a stream of JSON text sequences as per RFC7464[1].
