Nikola Knezevic 52a8f9295b Add support for \u escape in fromJSON
As fromTOML supports \u and \U escapes, bring fromJSON on par. As JSON defaults
to UTF-8 encoding (every JSON parser must support UTF-8), this change parses the
`\u hex hex hex hex` sequence (\u followed by 4 hexadecimal digits) into an
UTF-8 representation.

Add a test to verify correct parsing, using all escape sequences from json.org.
