[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH] json: fix silent change of global json settings

[Olga Arkhangelskaia]

When json.decode is used with 2 arguments, 2nd argument seeps out to global
json settings. Morover, due to current serialier.cfg implementation it
remains invisible while checking settings by json.cfg. To prevent sucj
behaviour we stop writing to global serializer struct and use local one,
to get one-time action.
As was mention before json.cfg can not be trusted in this case, so to check that
everything remained unchanged we call decode twice with and without 2nd
argument.
