perf(json): encode streamed JSON iteratively (#1322) 

The streamed JSON encoder delegated every token through one recursive
generator per nesting level and yielded each token separately. Writing
analyze-javascript-application output for Typora (873 MB) spent 22 of
66 s there. Encode with an explicit stack into bounded 16 KiB parts:
identical bytes, 3-6x faster encoding, and the same laziness, error
and surrogate-pair guarantees.
