Allow --json on the run command

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

Currently the CLI has the ability for the issues and pullrequests to output as json (#385), this is not included in the run command

e.g: gh run list --json

Proposed solution

Giving a structured output that does not need libraries like awk to pull out the valid data is helpful in many automation cases (i.e see the output of a run to use in an automation script). Adding --json will make this vastly easier

I looked through the current issues and did not find an issue that specifically for this, apologies if I missed one

@mislav

We should definitely do this.

@mislav do you want to continue to take point on this type of work or is there enough prior art given the recent release to mark this as help-wanted?

I'm marking this help-wanted.

Here's an example of how release view --json handles exporting data:

cli/pkg/cmd/release/view/view.go

Lines 111 to 113 in 4d20aa7

    
           if opts.Exporter != nil { 
        
           	return opts.Exporter.Write(opts.IO.Out, release, opts.IO.ColorEnabled()) 
        
           }

Someone could add this to run list function and pass in the []shared.Run slice as data to be exported. The final bit would be defining a shared.Run.ExportData() so that a Run object can be converted into data that is to be serialized as JSON for output:

cli/pkg/cmd/release/shared/fetch.go

Line 77 in 4d20aa7

func (rel *Release) ExportData(fields []string) *map[string]interface{} {

I'm working on this.
