This is a recent regression since commit
6359b79847 which added various assert(0)
calls (often replacing return-s).
With Ming-W64 compiler, json-c build was failing with various errors of
the sort:
> /home/jehan/dev/src/json-c/json_object.c: In function 'json_object_int_inc':
> /home/jehan/dev/src/json-c/json_object.c:841:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

The problem is that Mingw-w64 does not consider assert() as a noreturn
(even assert(0)), because it has to be compatible by Microsoft
libraries. See the discussion here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/bugs/306/
Instead let's create a new json_abort() function which is basically just
an abort() function with an optional message, for such cases where
abortion was non-conditional (using assert() and using the assertion
condition as a message here was clearly a misuse of the function). And
mark json_abort() as 'noreturn', as well as 'cold' for optimization
purpose (this is code we expect to never run, unless there is a bug,
that is).
Finally let's use this json_abort() instead of previous misused assert()
calls.
Though we will no longer be comparing exactly against INT64_MAX, this is ok
because any value of that magnitude stored in a double will *also* have been
rounded up, so the comparison will work appropriately.
- there is no need for _ref_count to be uint_fast32_t (the compiler
might decide to use a 64-bit int). make it uint32_t instead.
- reorder the 32-bit integer fields (o_type and _ref_count) so that
there is no wasted 4-byte gap after each of them.
Because doing `json_tokener_parse(json_object_get_string(src))`
feels sloppy, dirty, and makes me want to cry at night
sometimes.

2.replace json_object_get/put API with json_object_retain/release, as they operate the reference counter, and confused with array_list_get/put_idx.
3.replace array_list_get/put_idx API with array_list_get/insert to make them more clear to use.
