[XEN PATCH for-4.14 1/2] docs-parse-support-md: Prepare for copying with pandoc versions

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Different pandoc versions generate, and expect, a different toplevel
structure for their json output and inpout.  Newer pandoc's toplevel
is a hash.  We are going to want to support this.  We can tell what
kind of output we should produce by looking at the input we got (which
itself came from pandoc).  So:

 * Make space for code to read toplevel objects which are not arrays.
   Currently this code is absent and we just die explicitly (rather
   than dying because we tried to use a hashref as an array ref).

 * Move generation of the toplevel json structure out of
   pandoc2html_inline, and abstract it away through a subref which is
   set up when we read the input file.

This is just prep work.  No functional change other than a change to
an error message.
