libutil/logging: extend internal-json logger to make it more machine-readable
The new error-format is pretty nice from a UX point-of-view, however
it's fairly hard to parse the output e.g. for editor plugins such as
vim-ale[1] that use `nix-instantiate --parse` to determine syntax errors in
Nix expression files.

This patch extends the `internal-json` logger by adding the fields
`line`, `column` and `file` to easily locate an error in a file and the
field `raw_msg` which contains the error-message itself without
code-lines and additional helpers.

An exemplary output may look like this:

```
[nix-shell]$ ./inst/bin/nix-instantiate ~/test.nix --log-format minimal
{"action":"msg","column":1,"file":"/home/ma27/test.nix","level":0,"line":4,"raw_msg":"syntax error, unexpected IF, expecting $end","msg":"<full error-msg with code-lines etc>"}
```
