info --json: Improve json for "backend usage", using a nested object with fields for each backend instead of the previous weird nested lists. This may break existing parsers of this json output, if there were any.

It was indeed a bug that it counted both keys referenced in the work tree
and keys whose content was present. Fixed.
It's not hard to fix the json format, but then what happens to anything
that may be parsing the existing format? I could use a different field
for the better formatted version and keep the old version in the current
field, but if the goal is to make the json better, that doesn't really
work.
Since the old output is so funky, it seems likely to me you're the first
one to try to consume it since anyone reasonable would file a but report
about it and you're the first who did.
So.. I guess I'll change the json format and see if anyone complains.
I have to say that this business of not having any specification other
than what it currently is, is what annoys me about JSON as a consumer of it.
