This PR updates the "vctrs extension type" to use JSON as its metadata serialization. JSON is use for most other extension types and using it here provides some workaround for non-R consumers that encounter this type elsewhere.
The serializer and deserializer use the same format as
jsonlite::serializeJSON()
, but restrict the types of objects that it is willing to serialize or deserialize.
