jc - JSON CLI output utility dmidecode Parser

Usage:

specify --dmidecode as the first argument if the piped input is coming from dmidecode

Note: Because the output of dmidecode has some quirks, there may (rarely) be some missing data.
      For example, with mixed single and multi-line items only the first item is output.

      this:
        Associated Memory Slots: 2
            0x0006
            0x0007

      is converted to:
        "associated_memory_slots": "2",

      Very rarely there is an item with multiple sub-items and descriptions. These items will
      become corrupted.

      this:
        Handle 0x019F, DMI type 10, 8 bytes
        On Board Device 1 Information
                Type: Video
                Status: Disabled
                Description: VMware SVGA II
        On Board Device 2 Information
                Type: Sound
                Status: Disabled
                Description: ES1371

      is converted to:
        {
            "handle": "0x019F",
            "type": 10,
            "bytes": 8,
