jbackup: lj/dw journal download tool

jbackup was obtained from https://github.com/dreamwidth/dw-free/blob/master/src/jbackup/jbackup.pl

In its original state it is a single file in the https://github.com/dreamwidth/dw-free/ repository, and was last edited in 2013, (commit 9ac1042) when it was imported from lj. It requires the libxmlrpc-lite-perl and libterm-readkey-perl packages. The plan is to make it import in a format compatible with whatever my current blog archive format is or may become.

See (Chapter 29. Exporting Comments)[https://www.livejournal.com/doc/server/ljp.csp.export_comments.html] for details about how comments are read. Since this is an LJ document, it's not clear how to map references to OpenID users into their usernames. If necessary, they can be scraped from attributes and hidden fields in https://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/circle/edit
