Serialization from Bencode to JSON

[josecelano]

• Bencode format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bencode
• JSON format: https://www.json.org/json-en.html

In some issues, we need to be able to serialize generic bencoded data into a JSON.

Issues requiring this feature

• HTTP Tracker client: Print unrecognized responses in JSON #672

Implementation

We are discussing how to implement it:

• TEP Draft: Conversion Between Bencode and JSON Using Hexadecimal Encoding teps#15

I've implemented the first version of a library to do it:

https://github.com/torrust/bencode2json

The crate has not been published yet; we are still reorganizing the code and collecting feedback.
