Description
What
Add an option to Paket that changes to format of paket.lock to JSON
Why?
The exact use case for me is to parse the paket.lock file to generate Bazel targets for each NuGet package.
If the lock file would be in JSON it makes it easier for other tools to parse the lock file since JSON is supported
by all programming/scripting languages.
Other use cases:
- Parse the lock file to send to dependency analysis tools

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Paket's lock-file generation and parsing paths, then determine the JSON schema and option behavior; done means Paket can emit a documented, consumable JSON lock file without disrupting the existing format.
