Introduce JsonUtilsNew as documented in #5875 (#6355)
Read the [JsonUtils Spec] for more details.

This pull request introduces the next version of JsonUtils. It is in a
separate file for ease of review and testing.

JsonUtilsNew will be renamed in a subsequent commit that rewrites our
JSON deserializers.

### Implementer's Notes

I went with telescoping exceptions for the key parsing code, because
it's totally possible that you can be five keys deep and encounter a
type error. This lets us encode information about all failures in the
chain instead of just the topmost one.

The original JsonUtilsNew code changed to use `decay` everywhere because
the tests wouldn't compile. We want to treat `GetValue<const guid>` _the
same as_ `GetValue<guid>`, and this lets us do so. `decay` is awesome.

I've been developing this with a shim that redirects `JsonUtils.h` to
`JsonUtilsNew.h`. I am not comfortable deleting the original until we've
moved off of it, and that _will_ be the subject of a followup PR.

## Validation Steps Performed

So many tests.
