Description

Our main commands should have a json output format that can be in downstream applications such as auditing, dependabot-like application and our own testing.

See the linked issues for support in a specific command.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current output formatting code in uv (e.g., table, text) and identify where to inject JSON serialization. Look for existing serde usage or consider adding it. Check linked issues for command specific requirements.
