feat: Add "mode" parameter to set flags for a typical formt type easier

Recognize "json" (default), "cjson" and "json5".

Parsing support for this feature was added by integrating the JJU parser (a4a606c).

+A [JSON]/[JSON5] parser and validator with a command-line client. A [pure JavaScript version] of the service provided at [jsonlint.com].
 
 This is a fork of the original package with the following enhancements:
 
 * Handles multiple files on the command line (by Greg Inman).
 * Walks directories recursively (by Paul Vollmer).
 * Provides 100% compatible interface to the native `JSON.parse` method.
 * Optionally recognizes JavaScript-style comments and single quoted strings.
-* Supports JSON Schema drafts 04, 06 and 07.
-* Prefers the native JSON parser to gain the [best performance](./benchmarks#json-parser-comparison), while showing error messages of the same quality.
-* Implements JavaScript modules using [UMD](https://github.com/umdjs/umd) to work everywhere.
+* Supports [JSON Schema] drafts 04, 06 and 07.
+* Prefers the native JSON parser to gain the [best performance], while showing error messages of the same quality.
+* Implements JavaScript modules using [UMD] to work everywhere.
 * Depends on up-to-date npm modules with no installation warnings.
 * Small size - 17.6 kB minified, 6.1 kB gzipped.

-A custom JSON parser is [a lot slower](./benchmarks/results/performance.md#results) than the built-in one. However, it is more important to have a [clear error reporting](./benchmarks/results/errorReportingQuality.md#results) than the highest speed in scenarios like parsing configuration files. Extending the parser with the support for comments and single-quoted strings does not affect significantly the performance.
