Revert "--json-exceptions"
This reverts commit a325524454.

Turns out this was predicated on an incorrect belief that json output
didn't already sometimes lack the "key" field. Since json output already
can when `giveup` was used, it seems unncessary to add a whole new
option for this.

# NAME
git-annex dropkey - drops annexed content for specified keys
# SYNOPSIS
git annex dropkey `[key ...]`
# DESCRIPTION
This plumbing-level command drops the annexed data for the specified
keys from this repository.
This can be used to drop content for arbitrary keys, which do not need
to have a file in the git repository pointing at them.
Warning: This command does not check that enough other copies of the content
exist; using it can easily result in data loss.
# OPTIONS
* `--batch`
Enables batch mode, in which lines containing keys to drop are read from
stdin.
* `--json`
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
* `--json-error-messages`
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
the JSON instead.
* Also the [[git-annex-common-options]](1) can be used.
