Description
Currently print-ast simply outputs whatever codeql bqrs decode produces. We should instead pass --format=json, decode and process the JSON data, and output something more digestible to the terminal.

Research direction
Start at the print-ast command and its codeql bqrs decode invocation. Review how the command currently forwards decoded output, then determine the JSON data that must be processed for a more digestible terminal presentation. Done means the command requests JSON and presents processed output rather than raw decoder output.
