[processing][feature] Enhance the GDAL "Vector information" alg and add a new GDAL "Vector information (JSON)" alg

PR Description:

Description

• Enhancements of the "Vector information" (gdal:ogrinfo) GDAL processing algorithm:
  The checkbox parameter ALL_LAYERS "Enable listing of all layer information", False by default, is added in order for the layer name to not be added to the ogrinfo command-line so it will output the info of all the layers in the dataset (see also Add parameter to skip layername in gdal:convertformat QGIS#45955).
  The advanced parameter EXTRA "Additional command-line parameters" (optional) is added in order to provide additional command-line options to the ogrinfo command (to be consistent with the "Raster information" (gdal:gdalinfo) GDAL processing algorithm (see also [processing] allow passing additional command line parameters to GDAL algorithms QGIS#30377).

  

• New "Vector information (JSON)" (gdal:ogrinfojson) GDAL processing algorithm (only available with GDAL >= 3.7):
  This algorithm will use the -json option of ogrinfo in order to create a JSON file containing the layer or dataset information.
  It has the same parameters as "Vector information" (gdal:ogrinfo), except for the parameter SUMMARY_ONLY "Summary output only" (-so option), which is replaced by FEATURES "Enable listing of features" (-features option), False by default.
  The algorithm output is a JSON file.
  I think this new algorithm fixes add -json option in ogrinfo outputs QGIS#57945.
