jshn: add functionality to read big JSON

The existing read functionality feeds the complete JSON to jshn as a
cmdline argument, leading to `-ash: jshn: Argument list too long`
errors for JSONs bigger than ca. 100KB.

This commit adds the ability to read the JSON directly from a file if
wanted, removing this shell-imposed size limit.

Tested on x86-64 and ar71xx. An mmap()-based solution was also evaluated,
but found to make no performance difference on either platform.
