libstore/derivation-goal: avoid double-parsing of JSON messages

To avoid that JSON messages are parsed twice in case of
remote builds with `ssh-ng://`, I split up the original
`handleJSONLogMessage` into three parts:

* `parseJSONMessage(const std::string&)` checks if it's a message in the
  form of `@nix {...}` and tries to parse it (and prints an error if the
  parsing fails).
* `handleJSONLogMessage(nlohmann::json&, ...)` reads the fields from the
  message and passes them to the logger.
* `handleJSONLogMessage(const std::string&, ...)` behaves as before, but
  uses the two functions mentioned above as implementation.

In case of `ssh-ng://`-logs the first two methods are invoked manually.
