  [SRU] Backport JSON hooks 0.2

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  We want to be able to use JSON hooks 0.2 in xenial and later releases to 
display messages to users during dist-upgrade.

  For xenial, we backport the JSON hook support in its entirety, whereas
  for later releases, we only need to cherry-pick bugfixes and the v0.2
  improvements.

  [Test plan]
  We have included unit and integration tests for the new JSON code to test the 
writer and prevent regressions in future changes. Regressions in other parts of 
the code should be caught by the test suite.

  
  [Where problems could occur]
  There may be bugs in the JSON code (apt-private/private-json-hooks.*) and in 
the integration thereof. The JSON hook code is identical to 2.3.2, whereas the 
integration code needed slight adjustments.

  The integration changes are limited to adding the hooks, and (for
  xenial, already in later releases) collecting all unknown package
  names. We believe the regression potential of these changes to be
  fairly limited.

  However, errors in JSON hooks are fatal, so once JSON hooks are
  running, they can cause apt to fail, which has to be kept in mind.

  Existing JSON hooks might not expect the new notifications, and break,
  but we are only aware of the snapd hook and it ignores any unknown
  notifications, so that should not pose a problem.
