qemu-img.texi: Be specific about JSON object types

Just writing that --output=json outputs JSON information does not really
help; we should also make a note of what QAPI type the result object
has.  (The map subcommand does not emit a QAPI-typed object, but its
section already describes the object structure well enough.)
