 Code Modernization: Explicitly declare all properties in `Services_JSON`.

 Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2
 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.

 There are a number of ways to mitigate this:
 * If it is an accidental typo for a declared property: fix the typo.
 * For known properties: declare them on the class.
 * For unknown properties: add the magic `__get()`, `__set()`, et al.
 methods to the class or let the class extend `stdClass` which has highly
 optimized versions of these magic methods built in.
 * For unknown ''use'' of dynamic properties, the
 `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute can be added to the class. The
 attribute will automatically be inherited by child classes.

 In this case, the `$use` property, as set in the class constructor, falls
 in the “known property” category.

 Deprecate dynamic properties].
