jc - JSON Convert jobs command output parser

Also supports the -l option.

The "Magic" syntax is not supported since the jobs command is a shell builtin.

Usage (cli):

$ jobs | jc --jobs

Usage (module):

import jc
result = jc.parse('jobs', jobs_command_output)

Schema:

[
  {
    "job_number":   integer,
    "pid":          integer,
    "history":      string,
    "status":       string,
    "command":      string
  }
]

Example:

$ jobs -l | jc --jobs -p
[
  {
    "job_number": 1,
    "pid": 5283,
    "status": "Running",
    "command": "sleep 10000 &"
