Add support for preserving Unicode characters in jsonpatch CLI
If the JSON content contains some Unicode characters, the jsonpatch final output will encode the Unicode character using ASCII (i.e `\u0394`). This behaviour comes from the module `json.dump()` governed by a flag `ensure_ascii`[1]. For example: ```json /* patch.json */ [{ "op": "add", "path": "/SomeUnicodeSamples", "value": "𝒞𝘋𝙴𝓕ĢȞỈ𝕵 đ áê 🤩 äÄöÖüÜß" }] ``` After applying the patch on an empty source file `{}`, this is the output: ```json {"SomeUnicodeSamples": "\ud835\udc9e\ud835\ude0b...\u00fc\u00dc\u00df"} ``` This commit adds a flag `-u|--preserve-unicode` in the jsonpatch CLI to configure the behaviour of `json.dump`'s `ensure_ascii` flag. Using the `--preserve-unicode` flag, the cli will print the Unicode characters as-is without any encoding. [1]: https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#basic-usage
