get_time_seed(): silence warning emitted by Coverity Scan static analyzer

It warns about the return of time() being truncated to 32 bit, which is
not an issue here.
(this warning was emitted because of the https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal
project embedding a copy of libjson-c and running Coverity Scan
analysis)

Fix build with clang-15+

This helps compiling with MS compiler, error seems to be
due to defining a variable within the body of the function
its allowed in c99 but not in c89. This should fix build with
MSVC 16.0.40219.1 compiler from Visual Studio 14 2015

json_object_from_fd_ex: fail if file is too large

Fix memory leak with emtpy strings in json_object_set_string

When a json string object is updated with a bigger string, a new
malloc'ed buffer is used to store the new string and it's size is made
negative to indicate that an external buffer is in use.

When that same json string object get's updated again with an empty
stirng (size = 0), the new external malloc'ed buffer is still used.
But the fact that the new size value is not negative removes the
indicator that the externally malloc'ed buffer is used.

This becomes a problem when the object get's updated again with any
other string, because a new buffer will be malloced and linked to the
object while to old one won't be free'd.

This causes a memory leak when updating a json string with
json_object_set_stirng() which has previously been updated
with an empty string.

Example:
--
obj = json_object_new_string("data");
json_object_set_string(obj, "more data");
json_object_set_string(obj, "");
json_object_set_string(obj, "other data"); /* leaks */
--

This commit fixes the issue by free'ing the external buffer when an
empty string is set and use the internal one again.

Fix typo

Issue #768

Use target_link_libraries, plus fill in Libs.private in json-c.pc so pkg-config --static --libs works appropriately.
Also, only link against libbsd when arc4random is actually found there.

cmake rules matters, and fix compile warnings now that we're building
those sources with all the regular flags.

Add a list of issues closed for this release.

Improve a bit the coverage of the fuzzer

Preserve context if out of memory

If memory allocation fails in json_c_set_serialization_double_format or
json_object_copy_serializer_data then return with an error value and
preserve previous values without overriding them with NULL.

Code style: removed unneeded double-quotes
