Format JSON for config file (pretty-print) #284

When storing redirects as JSON in retour.json, updating routes from the panel UI remove all formatting. Storing the JSON with pretty formatting (line-breaks, indentations) would help reading the content in an external editor.

I'll consider this for a later point in time. Right now using Kirby's Data class which automatically switches between JSON and YAML writing depending on file extension, but doesn't offer an easy way to activate pretty-printing of JSON.

I had another look at this, but with using the core Data classes, I have no influence on the formatting that the file is written. However, you could save it as PHP instead of JSON, then it gets written quite nicely formatted.
