Add ?, .[]?, and .. operators
Make XPath-like `//a/b` recursive structure traversal easier in jq,
which then becomes:
..|.a?.b?
The `?` operator suppresses errors about . not being an array or object.
The `..` operator is equivalent to calling the new `recurse_down`
built-in, which in turn is equivalent to
recurse(.[]?)
Note that `..a` is not supported; neither is `...a`. That could be add
added, but it doesn't seem worth the trouble of saving the need to type
a '|'.
