[1/1] json-for-modern-cpp: use include.zip

From: Adam Duskett <Aduskett@gmail.com>

Currently, the json for modern c++ uses the release tarball for configuring
and installation. However; this tarball is actually 114.5Mb of unit tests, and
500Kb of actual code, which is just a header file.

When the package was initially submitted to Buildroot, json for modern c++ only
had the option of either just the header file, or the tarball. Since then,
the project has been able to break apart the header file into several, more
managable files and have included them in a "include.zip" file for each release.
This tar file is only 134K, and includes no unit tests.

This patch does the following:
- Change the package to a generic package.
- Manually unzip and install the header files to staging.
- Update the sha256 hash's for the new files.

While this looks really nice, a file named "include.zip" with no
version in the name, is going to be very annoying to handle. Indeed,
every time you will bump the version, the file name will be the same.
Thanks to the hash, the right version of the file will be
re-downloaded, but this will entirely break sources.buildroot.net, in
the sense that they will not be able to provide include.zip for older
Buildroot versions, that use an older version of json-for-modern-cpp.

So at this point, I prefer to keep the existing situation. I encourage
you to get in touch with upstream to see if they are willing to fix the
name of include.zip into something more sensible, that includes the
version.

Thanks!

Thomas

Adam, All,

So, the release file does not include the version in its name. That's
sad. Very sad... :-(

I think I'd prefer that we find another solution...
