Make from json --objects streaming (#12949)
# Description

Makes the `from json --objects` command produce a stream, and read
lazily from an input stream to produce its output.

Also added a helper, `PipelineData::get_type()`, to make it easier to
construct a wrong type error message when matching on `PipelineData`. I
expect checking `PipelineData` for either a string value or an `Unknown`
or `String` typed `ByteStream` will be very, very common. I would have
liked to have a helper that just returns a readable stream from either,
but that would either be a bespoke enum or a `Box<dyn BufRead>`, which
feels like it wouldn't be so great for performance. So instead, taking
the approach I did here is probably better - having a function that
accepts the `impl BufRead` and matching to use it.

# User-Facing Changes

- `from json --objects` no longer collects its input, and can be used
for large datasets or streams that produce values over time.

# Tests + Formatting
All passing.
