Initially I wanted to also do a function that generates the JSON patch from
two JSON documents, but even just applying the JSON patch was a bit of
work, especially when needing to satisfy all the test-cases.
This change defines all the operation in the RFC6902. The addition isn't
too big (for the json_patch_apply() function), as part of the heavy lifting
is also done by JSON pointer logic.
All the ops were tested with the test-cases defined at:
https://github.com/json-patch/json-patch-tests
RFC6902: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902

Some users may not want to included it in their build/system. So allow a
cmake symbol to disable it.
A user can do 'cmake -DDISABLE_JSON_POINTER=ON <json_c_root_dir>' and
disable the json_pointer functionality. That saves about 17 KB (on an
x86_64) machine. This may be useful on smaller embedded systems; even
though the saving would be fewer kilobytes.
One thing that also needs to change a bit, is that the 'json.h' be
autogenerated via cmake, in order to conditionally include that
"json_pointer.h" file.
