json gem upgrade to 2.3.0

Robert May requested to merge json-gem-upgrade into master

What does this MR do?

This upgrades the json gem to 2.3.0, which changes how it handles certain forms of data. This also adds support for a legacy_mode flag when parsing, which can be used to handle expectations that use the old form of parsing. These flags have already been added to known problem areas that cause the specs to fail.

The functionality of legacy_mode can be disabled by toggling the json_wrapper_legacy_mode feature flag.
