Without this, a large DO account will randomly break get_record(), because get_record() only looked at the first page, before, and then it would just create a new record from scratch, potentially leaving you with hundreds of duplicate A records in your account (which just makes the account even larger!). json_value had to go because its awk program was too simple to handle the recursiveness of json; in particular, : is a delimiter in json, but it's also a delimiter in URLs, so getting the next page's URL would break. I replaced it, and awk, with a new dependency on https://stedolan.github.io/jq/, which is unfortunate but necessary. There's no way to correctly parse javascript in a bash one-liner.
I regularly observed DO's API giving me more than 50 results per page, so instead of guessing at what the count should be if we don't receive it, skip the entire page.
