* Clean up pre-3.9 CMake support in CMakeLists.txt

New features
------------
* Build pkg-config for msvc as well

Significant changes and bug fixes
---------------------------------
* Critical fix for binary compatibility with 0.16: Move the
  json_tokener_error_memory entry to the end of enum json_tokener_error.
* Issue #829: attempt to detect clang-cl.exe and pass MSVC-compatile command
  line arguments.

* Issue #854: Set error=json_tokener_error_memory in
  json_tokener_parser_verbose() when allocating the tokener fails.
* Issue #857: fix a few places where json_tokener should have been returning
  json_tokener_error_memory but wasn't.
* Handle yet another out-of-memory condition in json_tokener, duplocate can 
  return NULL.
* Various fixes in the fuzzers
* A few minor doc fixes

We might end up with problems though:

0.17 (up to commit 077661f, 2023-08-08)
========================================

Known Bugs
----------
* DO NOT USE THE 0.17 RELEASE: json_tokener_error_memory in misplaced in the
  json_tokener_error enum, leading to binary compatibility issues.

This wasn't a known issue until recently, and we shipped with a broken version of JSON-C.
