Add -json option (#509)

* Add -json option

Prints newline-delimited JSON output to STDOUT

* sort

* Clear terminal line via STDERR foreach JSON result

For each JSON result being printed, prepend it with a TERMINAL_CLEAR_LINE via
STDERR. This clears the progress line (which is also being emitted via STDERR)
and leaves us with a clean stream of JSON lines in the terminal.
