Add `$message_type` field to distinguish json diagnostic outputs
Currently the json-formatted outputs have no way to unambiguously determine which kind of message is being output. A consumer can look for specific fields in the json object (eg "message"), but there's no guarantee that in future some other kind of output will have a field of the same name.
This PR adds a `"type"` field to add json outputs which can be used to unambiguously determine which kind of output it is. The mapping is:
`diagnostic`: regular compiler diagnostics
`artifact`: artifact notifications
`future_incompat`: Future incompatibility report
`unused_extern`: Unused crate warnings/errors
This matches the "internally tagged" representation for serde enums.
