[CLI] convert --verbose output from dict to valid JSON

[cgeisel]

Problem to solve (from the user’s perspective)

I use trcli in my CI pipeline and frequently need to debug an issue with --verbose. The challenge is that the output is a dict with single quotes that does not validate as JSON, so it is not easily formatted, parsed, etc.

How could we improve this?

Convert the dict to valid json using json.dumps before output.

I would like to contribute this PR if you are open to it.

Proposal (CLI-level sketch)

Add json.dumps() to

Line 331 in d271ddd

if payload:

rather than printing the dict as an f string.
