Exporting Natspec documentation to a JSON interface

- Adding a getDocumentation() function to solidity compiler stack
  so that we can obtain the natspec interface for a contract

- Adding libjsoncpp as a dependency of libsolidity. This is done
  in a dirty way, using libjsonrpc-cpp s an intermediate dependency
  for the moment. Will fix soon.

- Start of a test file for Natspec exporting to JSON
