#18015: Restore compat Services_JSON (class-json.php), json_encode, json_decode

A fair number of servers and distributions are, by default, missing the
JSON extension for PHP. The number is actually a bit surprising, and is
enough that we need to go forth with restoring these.
While core does not heavily rely on JSON, a number of actions will fail
without it, and a lot of plugins rely on it. Without a compat layer, we'll
see fatal errors.
Plugins, coincidentally, have relied on the existence of Services_JSON in
class-json.php for unknown reasons, given they should have been using
json_encode() and json_decode() directly since 2.9. Restoring this file in
place should fix some of those compatibility issues, though I'd like to
still get all of those plugins to change their bad ways.
