selftests: tc-testing: Add matchJSON to tdc
This allows the use of a matchJSON field in tests to match against JSON output from the command under test, if that command outputs JSON. You specify what you want to match against as a JSON array or object in the test's matchJSON field. You can leave out any fields you don't want to match against that are present in the output and they will be skipped. An example matchJSON value would look like this: "matchJSON": [ { "Value": { "neighIP": { "family": 4, "addr": "AQIDBA==", "width": 32 }, "nsflags": 142, "ncflags": 0, "LLADDR": "ESIzRFVm" } } ] The real output from the command under test might have some extra fields that we don't care about for matching, and since we didn't include them in our matchJSON value, those fields will not be attempted to be matched. If everything we included above has the same values as the real command output, the test will pass. The matchJSON field's type must be the same as the command output's type, otherwise the test will fail. So if the command outputs an array, then the value of matchJSON must also be an array. If matchJSON is an array, it must not contain more elements than the command output's array, otherwise the test will fail.
