Fix segmentation fault in CPUID check

Tweak json_parse.c slightly to allow it to build against older json-c versions.

This is intended to provide a way, during development, to test out the memory
and performance impacts of a change.

Move the list of contributors to the AUTHORS file.

CMakeLists: do not enforce strict prototypes on Windows.

On Windows, or at least when cross-built with Mingw-w64, build fails
because strict prototype fails on an included file (thus nothing we can
do about in json-c code):

Let's just disable the errors for Windows build.

Fix CMake tests for enforced strict prototypes.

Arraylist testcase

Enforce strict prototypes.

CMake: Install pkgconfig file in proper location by default

The default location for pkconfig files on most systems is:
  ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}/pkgconfig

Thus the file should get installed in there by default.

Be verbose on failing json_c_version test.

Test coverage for json_c_version.

Small cosmetics.
