Call flow with --json

[mroch]

If possible to parse JSON in vimscript (or via a wrapper script?) it would be better to call flow with --json and format errors appropriately within vim-flow. The CLI format is lossy compared to JSON, especially in the presence of traces, so we can probably parse it more accurately starting from JSON.

(or via a wrapper script?)

I built a wrapper script, which does exactly that: https://github.com/ryyppy/flow-vim-quickfix

My goal was to get nicer one-liner messages, since errorformat doesn't really work with multiple lines... is a node-script too heavyweight? At least In async neomake with shell spawning the performance is superb.

I really miss the autocomplete feature of this project (using deoplete right now), would be cool to merge efforts and get the best of both worlds.

Vim 8 and neovim allow decoding json via json_decode(). See #11 (comment) for a possible fix for the quickfix list.
