Not all distributions provide Python as python3 and as Meson already depends on 3.5+ just use what Meson uses.

Fix #1197 

* BUILD_TYPE corresponds to Release/Debug
   but LIB_TYPE corresponds to shared/static.

* Add support to build shared, static and object lib at the same time.

This patch adds an explicit ctor with a std::nullptr_t argument, that is `delete`-d. This keeps Json::Value from exposing a coding error when automatically promoted to a const char* type.

* avoid isprint

`std::isprint` is locale-specific and the JSON-spec is not.
In particular, isprint('\t') is true in Windows CP1252.

Has bitten others, e.g. https://github.com/laurikari/tre/issues/64



Fixes #1187

* semicolon (rookie mistake!)

* Windows tab escape testing with custom locale (#1190)

* semicolon (rookie mistake!)

This patch fixes a fuzzing bug by resolving a bad fallthrough in the
setComment logic.

The result is that we get a proper error instead of an assert, making
the library friendlier to use and less likely to cause issue for
consumers.

Improve CMake correctness and handling

This is already covered by the toplevel CMake, which also serves to
provide a consistent minimum version.

Commit aebc7faa added version checks for CMake compatibility. In reality,
only the add_compile_definitions need the check - add_compile_options
itself has been supported since 3.0. Tested and confirmed built
successfully with CMake 3.8.0.

EXTRA_CXX_FLAGS is never defined, making this a noop. Further,
COMPILE_OPTIONS is invalid to set as a DIRECTORY property.

Since the introduction of CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX CMake has
suggested using CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID for more general checks.

Since CMake has subdirectory variable scope, unilaterally set the
CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD variable to use C++11. This covers cases with the
library being included externally, both in cases of only C++98 being
specified, as well as later versions being specified (since the
CXX_STANDARD itself isn't a library dependency, only the PUBLIC
target_compile_features on jsoncpp_lib). The previous direct check for
C++98 is handled by requiring C++11 on this library; should the
compiler being used not support C++11 then CMake will issue an error.

As of CMake 3.0 with CMP0042, MACOSX_RPATH is enabled by default.
Since the validated version used by jsoncpp is later than 3.0,
this is already covered.

The more general CMake way to handle library suffixing is to set
CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX, so setting the Debug output suffix name should
be more correctly done by the caller or CMake configurer by setting
the desired value in CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX.

* Ignore bom at the beginning of the UTF-8 text

A recent PR broken the JsonChecker tests by adding support for trailing
commas. This didn't end up breaking the build, because those tests
aren't run, except locally and only using CMake.

This patch fixes the tests by adding exclusions for trailing comma
tests, as well as updates Meson to run these tests as part of `ninja
test`.

See issue #1102.

Required to get JSONCPP_USING_SECURE_MEMORY and the SecureAllocator
available for the definition of Allocator.
