[ARGUS] Json labels branch on GitHub

[Carter Bullard]

Gentle people,
I’ve finished the json label format changes for the clients distribution.  This new feature, configured using the rarc file, will upgrade a legacy label to a json formatted label.  As I mentioned earlier, when we move to argus-4.0, the json label will be the default label format and conversion will happen automatically ...

I’ve tested it out and it works pretty good, and seems to do the right thing when we print in fixed width, csv, JSON and XML printed output.
Please give this branch a test run, and I’ll merge it into master next week …

Hope all is most excellent,
Carer

Labels are upgraded to json on input,  based on the rarc configuration.  I have not implemented a downgrade option, so if the label is already json, we're currently not converting to legacy format.
