Description

Since sstabledump outputs json, it makes sense for it to use AbstractType.toJSONString() instead of getString() as discussed in CASSANDRA-12594:

sstabledump returns JSON and we now have a proper toJSONString() method in AbstractType that handles that properly so it would make sense to simply use that for everything in sstabledump in my opinion.

Doing this should also fix CASSANDRA-12594. There may be a few small differences in the output format, which I will attempt to document here.
