wip: implement (Un)MarshalJSON(Amino) TypedValue

[gfanton]

Work in Progress

This pull request aims to implement JSON marshaling on TypedValue. It includes:

• A lower-level encoding API for writing/reading JSON. The code is mostly taken from protojson, which provides a generic enough API, is well-tested, and does not rely on reflection or other libraries. I have made slight updates to the code to avoid unnecessary randomness or depends on protobufs.
  • If needed, we can update this part later with a more optimised encoder for Gno or adapt this one to use reader/writer instead of raw []byte data, for example.
• (Un)MarshalJSON(Amino) methods on TypedValue
• (Un)MarshalOptions that allow passing additional options like Store and Allocator (optional)

Current State:

• Support scalar types (bool, number, string)
• Support Array
• Support object (struct)
• Partially support Interface
• Handle circular reference with objectid

Note: Don't be scared by the number of lines added. The most important parts of the code are located in value_json.go and value_json_test.go, as encoding/json/* is mostly taken from protojson.

TODO:

• RefValue support
• Fully support Amino format
• More tests
• Documentation & Comments
• ... (Possibly other tasks, I will add them later as I discover them)

Contributors' checklist...

• Added new tests, if necessary or feasible
• Provided an example (e.g. screenshot) to assist in the review or ensured the PR is self-explanatory
• Updated the official documentation, if required
• No breaking changes were introduced, or a BREAKING CHANGE: xxx message was included in the description
• Added references to related issues and PRs
• Provided useful hints for running manual tests
• Added new benchmarks to generated graphs, if applicable. More information here.

After some discussion this PR is invalid, as it should better be implemented directly inside the gnovm.
