backend: Export/import the Backend config as JSON

Add a new helper BackEnd::GetJsonConfig() to return a JSON string of
the current Backend register configuration and tile data. The parameters
are the actual register values to be programmed into the hardware, and
currently all dumped as unsigned.

Add a check for the environment variable LIBPISP_CONFIG_DUMP, and if if
it is set, use the filename provided to dump the config/tile JSON output
as a one-shot operation.

Add a new helper BackEnd::SetJsonConfig() to read a JSON string and
import the Backend register configuration. Tile data does not get
imported, and will need a BackEnd::Prepare() call to re-generate the
tile data.
