What this PR does

Adds support for generating an index.yaml in JSON-format to improve parsing performance (client-side) by using the default json library. Related to helm/helm#12245 and #738.

Testing results

When templating releases for my personal projects, I noticed a ~27% speed improvement in direct comparison of the chartmuseum creating a YAML-formatted versus a JSON-formatted index.yaml.
To be specific, a (rather large) Helmfile release used to take around 6min38s (user time), now takes 5m12s.

What was changed

A flag was added (--json-index) which defaults to false. When set to true chartmuseum will return the index.yaml with JSON-formatted content, as described in the PR mentionned above.
This change should be backwards compatible with all Helm-clients before 3.13.0, since YAML is a superset of JSON, meaning all JSON can be parsed using YAML parsers. To be able to fully take advantage of the performance improvement the client will have to be updated to Helm >3.13.0.

I'd plan to ship v0.16.1 soon with some critical CVE fixes , and this PR may delay to next release window .
