No more parsable output for Dict printing

[kmsquire]

So, while I like the new format introduced by #5706, it does seem that there isn't a way to get a compact version of the dictionary that can be parsed anymore. See

JuliaIO/JSON.jl#72

Ah, sorry about this. Some of the old functionality is still there in showcompact. Or, well, it should have been. In a final pass to clean up the code style, I messed up the comma printing - see #7144. 💢

But it's still not quite right as it prints the summary information within the show method. Arrays were recently changed to do this within the REPL's writemime; I can make that happen here, too.

Good point; the new format should only be used by display.

I don't know that there's much purpose to having a showcompact definition; perhaps I should just remove the summary information from it and change it to be print instead?

Or would you like a bigger change here?
