[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Use Scintilla's JSON lexer for JSON instead of the JavaScript/C++ lexer (#2454)

[Enrico Tröger]

@ell1e I still think a dedicated JSON filetype should (at least by default) not allow comments.
But we don't even need to make a hard decision here as the Scintilla JSON lexer has a property to toggle highlighting of comments: `lexer.json.allow.comments`.

So, one can add:
```
[lexer_properties]
lexer.json.allow.comments=1
```
to the filetype definition and so enable highlighting of comments if desired.
@d5l6 this could go as commented and documented option in the filetype definition (for reference see https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/code/ci/default/tree/lexers/LexJSON.cxx#l121).
