This makes the proto serializer characterisation test data be accompanied by JSON data. This is arguably useful for a reasons: - The JSON data is human-readable while the binary data is not, so it provides some indication of what the test data means beyond the C++ literals. - The JSON data is language-agnostic, and so can be used to quickly rig up tests for implementation in other languages, without having source code literals at all (just go back and forth between the JSON and the binary). - Even though we have no concrete plans to place the binary protocol 1-1 or with JSON, it is still nice to ensure that the JSON serializers and binary protocols have (near) equal coverage over data types, to help ensure we didn't forget a JSON (de)serializer.

Motivation
This makes the proto serializer characterisation test data be
accompanied by JSON data.
This is arguably useful for a reasons:
The JSON data is human-readable while the binary data is not, so it
provides some indication of what the test data means beyond the C++
literals.
The JSON data is language-agnostic, and so can be used to quickly rig
up tests for implementation in other languages, without having source
code literals at all (just go back and forth between the JSON and the
binary).
Even though we have no concrete plans to place the binary protocol 1-1
or with JSON, it is still nice to ensure that the JSON serializers and
binary protocols have (near) equal coverage over data types, to help
ensure we didn't forget a JSON (de)serializer.
