intel_gpu_top: Automatically enclose JSON output into brackets
Parsers need the whole output enclosed into square brackets so every period sample becomes an array element. So far we have been suggesting this in the man page but we can trivially make the tool output that itself.

JSON OUTPUT
===========
-To parse the JSON as output by the tool the consumer should wrap its entirety into square brackets ([ ]). This will make each sample point a JSON array element and will avoid "Multiple root elements" JSON validation error.
+JSON output will be correctly terminated when the tool cleanly exits, otherwise one square bracket needs to be added before parsing.
