Summary

This pull request adds machine-readable JSON output for file reports using:
-out=report=json

Behavior

Existing -out=report text output remains unchanged.
JSON output is enabled only when explicitly requested.
No existing CLI flags or output formats are affected.

JSON Report Content

The JSON output mirrors the current text report and includes:
Input source and stream mode
Program count, program numbers, and PID details (TS)
DVB and Teletext subtitle information
EIA-608 and CEA-708 caption data
Video properties (resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate)
MPEG-4 timed text track presence and count

Implementation Notes

Introduced a report_format option (text / json).
Added print_file_report_json() alongside existing logic.
Early dispatch in print_file_report() based on selected format.
Rust CLI parser special-cases -out=report=json while preserving existing -out=report behavior.
