GSoC 2020: jsondecode status

Hello everyone,

I have finished the first draft for jsondecode [1] function on my github
repo [2]. I have also added a few test cases [3] (I verified that they work
on MATLAB online). The function now passes all the test cases.

Right now, the function is treated as an external *.oct file. The
integration of the code into Octave's build system will be done at the end
of the project. I transformed the test suite into Octave-compatible test
files that can be found in "test/json" directory [4].

If you have any ideas for improvements, please let me know. I am waiting
for your feedback and suggestions.

A good idea that was suggested by the author of JSONio [5] was to add
a "ReplacementStyle"
option [6] when creating a structure's field name. What do you think about
this?

Thanks for your time,
Abdallah
