 Dev note posted: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/10/15/php-native-
 json-extension-now-required/

 I am reopening to explore changing the error code slightly. The error code
 for this specific failure should be different than the one for
 incompatible versions of PHP (PHP < 5.6.20). This will allow more accurate
 tracking of exactly how many sites cannot upgrade because the native JSON
 extension is disabled.

 Incoming patch with the suggested `php_not_compatible_json` code change.
