Declare JSONFormatter class in juce__JSON.h, not juce__JSON.cpp

While working out a solution for this problem:

FR: change JSON::toString output to match php & javascript json_encode

Php’s json_encode produces json-formatted text that does not have a space after the ":". JUCE’s JSON::toString does. It happens here in void DynamicObject::writeAsJSON (OutputStream& out, const int indentLevel, const bool allOnOneLine, int maximumDecimalPlaces): out << '"'; JSONFormatter::writeString (out, properties.getName (i)); out << "\": "; Javascript’s stringify() function, which converts javascript objects to json, also does not add this space after the : I’m…

I discovered that I can derive from juce::DynamicObject and provide an implementation of the writeAsJSON member function.

The DynamicObject::writeAsJSON function internally uses JSONFormatter.

I am duplicating this function because the only things I need to change are removing the space after the ": " and forcing the output to be on a single line.

Unfortunately, juce::JSONFormatter is defined in juce__JSON.cpp, and is therefore not a class that we can freely use in our projects.

The only solution to be able to use JSONFormatter is to copy/paste this class into source files that I control.
