[syslog-ng] [PATCH] json-parser: Change the way arrays are formatted

[Gergely Nagy]

Instead of parsing an array into key-value pairs where the key has a
suffix of a dot, followed by the array index, make the key resemble
the javascript array syntax: array[index].

This makes it more intuitive to reach into arrays, and also makes it
easier to discover arrays when formatting back to JSON.
