Support for JSON Lines

[mlucool]

Hi,

I would like to request that jq.node support JSON lines or simply a stream of \n separated records.

jq has support for this as follows:

$ echo -e '{"foo": "bar"}\n{"baz": "qux"}' | jq '.'
{
  "foo": "bar"
}
{
  "baz": "qux"
}

While jq.node (aliased to jqn) has an error:

$ echo -e '{"foo": "bar"}\n{"baz": "qux"}' | jqn
undefined:2
{"baz": "qux"}
^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token { in JSON at position 15

This support is very useful for things like bunyan style logs.

Thanks in advance for looking!
