OK, so now import&export of PROJJSON has been implemented in this PR.

Examples:

Import from EPSG and export as PROJJSON:

$ projinfo EPSG:32631 -o PROJJSON -q > out.json

Import from PROJJSON and export as a old school PROJ string:

$ projinfo @out.json -o PROJ -q
+proj=utm +zone=31 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs +type=crs

$ cat out.json
