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 lock - lock files to prevent modification
# SYNOPSIS
git annex lock `[path ...]`
# DESCRIPTION
Lock the specified annexed files, to prevent them from being modified.
When no files are specified, all annexed files in the current directory are
locked.
Locking a file changes how it is stored in the git repository (from a
pointer file to a symlink), so this command will make a change that you
can commit.
# OPTIONS
* file matching options
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
can be used to specify files to lock.
* `--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.
