JSON as a Kson compilation target - #92

Conversation
In working towards adding Json as a compile target, which _never_ allows comments, it highlighted that `preserveComments` isn't really a "Core" configuration, but rather a CompileTarget-specific choice So: refactor to better reflect this and be ready for future CompileTargets
Introduce a new compilation target for JSON, allowing Kson to parse and compile to JSON format.

Since Json does not support comments, we can set `preserveComments` to `false` for all instances of its CompileTarget config
Unlike for Yaml, where no official/blessed cross-platform parser exists that I know of, Kotlinx.serialization provides a cross-platform JSON parser. So, we don't need to restrict our tests' Json validation to just our JVM tests like we do with Yaml. This should just run redundant checks on each platform, but a good general goal is to write multiplatform code whenever possible, and plus: I'm very curious if this will ever fail some day exposing some surprising difference in Json parsing across our supported platforms.

In the same vein as the work done in "YAML as a Kson compilation target" we now added JSON as a compilation target too.
The heart of the work is done in 34dd09e, with 625e66e performing a preparatory refactor
