jsonpath scanner: reentrant scanner

Use the flex %option reentrant to make the generated scanner
reentrant and thread-safe.  Note: The parser was already pure.

Simplify flex scan buffer management: Instead of constructing the
buffer from pieces and then using yy_scan_buffer(), we can just use
yy_scan_string(), which does the same thing internally.  (Actually, we
use yy_scan_bytes() here because we already have the length.)

Use flex yyextra to handle context information, instead of global
variables.  This complements the other changes to make the scanner
reentrant.
