support/scripts/cve.py: use fast ijson backend if available on old ijson versions

Browse Source 
ijson < 2.5 (as available in Debian 10) use the slow python backend by
default instead of the most efficient one available like modern ijson
versions, significantly slowing down cve checking. E.G.:

time ./support/scripts/pkg-stats --nvd-path ~/.nvd -p avahi --html foobar.html

Goes from
174,44s user 2,11s system 99% cpu 2:58,04 total

To
93,53s user 2,00s system 98% cpu 1:36,65 total

E.G. almost 2x as fast.

As a workaround, detect when the python backend is used and try to use a
more efficient one instead.  Use the yajl2_cffi backend as recommended by
upstream, as it is most likely to work, and print a warning (and continue)
if we fail to load it.

The detection is slightly complicated by the fact that ijson.backends used
to be a reference to a backend module, but is nowadays a string (without the
ijson.backends prefix).
