json: Nicer recovery from lexical errors

When the lexer chokes on an input character, it consumes the
character, emits a JSON error token, and enters its start state.  This
can lead to suboptimal error recovery.  For instance, input

    0123 ,

produces the tokens

    JSON_ERROR    01
    JSON_INTEGER  23
    JSON_COMMA    ,

Make the lexer skip characters after a lexical error until a
structural character ('[', ']', '{', '}', ':', ','), an ASCII control
character, or '\xFE', or '\xFF'.

Note that we must not skip ASCII control characters, '\xFE', '\xFF',
because those are documented to force the JSON parser into known-good
state, by docs/interop/qmp-spec.txt.

The lexer now produces

    JSON_ERROR    01
    JSON_COMMA    ,

Update qmp-test for the nicer error recovery: QMP now reports just one
error for input %p instead of two.  Also drop the newline after %p; it
was needed to tease out the second error.
