Pretty indent --info JSON output (see below for details)

Changes to make --info much more human readable (while still keeping
machine readabilty for anyone foolish enough to be parsing the existing
output as text)

* change message_to_json to optionally not strip the multiline JSON
* use multiline=True for the two places we are printing to the console
* make the node list JSON indented
