Subject: Add JSON-based API under `/api`

This commit provides an unstable JSON API for communication with an
upcoming Dart frontend.

Later it might be part of the public interface for integration into
other services. For this step it has to be ensured the semantics are not
changing a lot in the future which is currently out of scope.
