filesystem: JsonEditor: offer interactive retry on error

When json.loads() fails (e.g. the user made a syntax mistake), prompt
the user with "Re-open file for editing? [y]es/[n]o:" and loop back to
the editor if they answer 'y' or 'yes'.  If the user declines, return
the original unmodified value so no write is attempted; the temp file
is still cleaned up by __exit__() in that case.
