Lift JSON library from clang-tools-extra/clangd to llvm/Support.

Summary:
This consists of four main parts:
 - an type json::Expr representing JSON values of dynamic kind, which can be
   composed, inspected, and modified
 - a JSON parser from string -> json::Expr
 - a JSON printer from json::Expr -> string, with optional pretty-printing
 - a convention for mapping json::Expr <=> native types (fromJSON/toJSON)
   Mapping functions are provided for primitives (e.g. int, vector) and the
   ObjectMapper helper helps implement fromJSON for struct/object types.

Based on clangd's usage, a couple of places I'd appreciate review attention:
 - fromJSON returns only bool. A richer error-signaling mechanism may be useful
   to provide useful messages, or let recursive fromJSONs (containers/structs)
   do careful error recovery.
 - should json::obj be always explicitly written (like json::ary)
 - there's no streaming parse API. I suspect there are some simple wins like
   a callback API where the document is a long array, and each element is small.
   But this can probably be bolted on easily when we see the need.
