Provide a way to write machine-readable output to stdout for `pack`
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer-authored feature request for opt-in JSON output to stdout from pack, plus guidance for app commands. Open, unlabelled, no comments; output schema and interface remain undecided.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is unlabelled, has no assignee or comments, and shows no sign of maintainer triage or prioritisation despite being authored by a maintainer. The body proposes a CLI argument or environment variable but leaves the JSON schema and interface design open, so it needs categorisation before implementation.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
As an opt-in (probably CLI argument, but maybe also available by environment variable), allow the user to get a JSON output of the packed objects for `pack` rather than the human-readable final message.
Document how this is done so applications can do the same thing for their own commands.
### Why it needs to get done
Makes it easier to use craft apps within scripts.
