This wires in custom expression handler functionality, which was present
in json script since the original version, but never used.

To add a bit of context:

Experimenting with procd service triggers, it was noticed that when
adding triggers for a network interface, trigger is activated too often.
I saw discussions related to both netifd (as sender of network interface
trigger events) and procd side of the problem a few times during past
months on the list, e.g.:

Quote from the last link:

As one way of solving the problem, I wanted to make a trigger-handling
json_script which itself would check the trigger details, and decide
whether the event was relevant enough to warrant a reload. I tried this
via a patch to procd:

http://public.inteno.se/?p=iopsys.git;a=commitdiff;h=3cdd8f80433e21eacfb593e69361e8f217aba30c

However, json_script turned out not to support custom expression
handlers, hence this patch.

Regards,

Denis
