Since some of these properties vary depending on others, conditional 'ifs' were added to the json making some kind pseudo-markup output. This output is messy and weird and should be avoided. There should be a better way of showing this, specially considering that the json generated by yocto-bsp list <arch> --properties puts all its json body inside a string, which is odd and is not useful to anybody.

The request was sent to the mailing list [1], meaning this issue is obsolete. [1] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/poky/2017-October/011135.html
