Fixes #56.

$ echo 'Hello age' | go run ./cmd/age -a -R recipients.txt -o encrypted.age.ascii

$ go run ./cmd/age --inspect encrypted.age.ascii | jq .
{
  "RecipientCounts": {
    "X25519": 5
  },
  "Version": "age-encryption.org/v1",
  "PayloadSize": 42
}

I've chosen to make the output JSON-encoded because the data that --inspect outputs is fairly small, so the JSON is fairly easily readable (even without jq), and outputting in JSON makes it machine-readable.

I've read https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/blob/9f0a2d25ac79da8100d68f3e8b3a1a57ea4a73ba/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md and can confirm that I won't be offended if this is reimplemented instead of being merged 馃槃

Thank you for writing this. I used this feature to test some tooling that uses age, and it came in very handy.
