Generalized AddJSONActionItemField to allow it to add several fields. Not entirely
happy with that, since the names of the fields have to be carefully chosen to
not conflict with other json fields. And fields added that way can't be parsed
back in FromJSON, except for the "fields" field that is special cased for metadata.
Still, I couldn't see another way to do it.
Also, omit file:null from the json output. Which does affect other commands,
eg git-annex whereis --all --json. Hopefully that won't break something that expects
a null file. If it did, that could be reverted, but it would be ugly to have
file:null in the unused --json

For expire, the normal output is unchanged, but the --json output includes the uuid
in machine parseable form. Which could be very useful for this somewhat obscure
command. That needed ActionItemUUID to be implemented, which seemed like a lot
of work, but then ---
I had been going to skip implementing them for trust, untrust, dead, semitrust,
and describe, but putting the uuid in the json is useful information, it tells
what uuid git-annex picked given the input. It was not hard to support
these once ActionItemUUID was implemented.

This also changes addunused to display the names of the files that it adds.
That seems like a general usability improvement, and not displaying the input
number does not seem likely to be a problem to a user, since the filename
is based on the key. Displaying the filename was necessary to get it and the key
included in the json.
dropunused does not include the key in the json. It would be possible to
add, but would need more changes. And I doubt that dropunused --json
would be used in a situation where a program cared which keys were
dropped. Note that drop --unused does have the key in its json, so such
a program could just use it. Or could just dropkey --batch with the
specific keys it wants to drop if it cares about specific keys.

Also in passing the --all display was fixed up to not quote keys like filenames.
Note that the check added to compareChanges was needed to avoid logging when
nothing changed.

log: When --raw-date is used, display only seconds from the epoch, as
documented, omitting a trailing "s" that was included in the output
before.

The json does not include an url field, but it does have an input field that is
"file url" when using --batch and ["file", "url"] when using the command line.
I chose not to change that because it would complicate batchInput.
An url field could be added if it turns out to be useful.

fdac66ae10 lost the "git-annex:" prefix,
which broke datalad's parsing of an error message (ugh)
Also, don't use warningIO because it displays a blank line to stdout,
which is also a behavior change from before, and does not seem
necessary.
