Use `libripgrep` when it's available rather than the `--json` API #2

After some research into ripgrep's issue tracker, I'm led to think that using the JSON API is the right way to go for now, rather than using the libripgrep when it's ready.

If, in the future, this tool migrates away from ripgrep and still performs the same function, then using libripgrep might be a good idea, but for now this is just a wrapper for ripgrep.
