Here's patch 1 for the time being that implements barebones
JSON_TABLE(), that is, without NESTED paths/columns and PLAN clause.
I've tried to shape the interfaces so that those features can be added
in future commits without significant rewrite of the code that
implements barebones JSON_TABLE() functionality.  I'll know whether
that's really the case when I rebase the full patch over it.

I'm still reading and polishing it and would be happy to get feedback
and testing.
