Landon Curt Noll d981aa2a04 revert non-canonical JSON changes from a previous commit
The PR #2662 introduced TAB characters into entry `.entry.json` files
and mal-formatted `author_handle` JSON members.

To restore canonical JSON formatting, we did:

```sh
find [12][90][89012][0-9] -name .entry.json -print | xargs -n 1 bin/jfmt-wrapper.sh -v 1
```

BTW: We have written a tool, currently untested, to do this.  We plan to also
     add a new fix JSON format rule to the top level `Makefile`.

Performed `make www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.

To build:

    make

To use:

    ./dhyang

Try:

    ./try.sh

Judges' remarks:

A beautiful combination of solving several different problems, but mostly, the single most impressive layout we've ever seen. Many programs have one interesting layout; this one has four.

It may be informative to run the code through a "beautifier", to study it, but the layout itself is where most of the interest lies.

Author's remarks:

This one is dedicated to Saitou Hajime fans ^_^x

Instead of making one self reproducing program, what I made was a program that generates a set of mutually reproducing programs, all of them with cool layout!

For your enjoyment:

  1. Compile dhyang.c.
  2. Run ./dhyang and redirect output to another .c file.
  3. Compile that file.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until eventually the output cycles.

To interpret the output: the dhyang.c is an image of Saitou Hajime, which eventually generates three sources files that are images of "aku soku zan" (sin swift slay), Saitou's motto ;)

For best viewing, set tab spaces to 8 characters, and set your terminal fonts to as close to square as possible. I hate to do this but you know, size...

dhyang.c and all its output compiles with gcc if your OS uses ASCII character set. No file is included and all functions assume default int return type (a source of compile warnings).
