Represent diagnostic messages as arrays

Simon McVittie requested to merge wip/array-of-messages into master

  • system-info: Remove incomplete description of output

    The reference is now the man page.

  • system-info: Print diagnostic messages as arrays of lines

    A single line with escaped newlines is unnecessarily hard to read.

    This repurposes code that we already had for printing a udev uevent pseudo-file in this way.

    We retain the ability to parse old s-r-s-i output in which the diagnostic messages were a string: the intended meaning is fairly obvious.

Sample output:

          "messages" : [
            "ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan_intel.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32",
            "ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan_lvp.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32",
            "ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan_radeon.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32",
            "MESA-INTEL: warning: Performance support disabled, consider sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0",
            "WARNING: lavapipe is not a conformant vulkan implementation, testing use only."
          ],
