json-c 0.16 release

[Eric Hawicz]

 The most recent release of json-c, json-c 0.16, is now available.

This release fixes a number of bugs and improves performance.  No new features are included.  Direct access to the lh_table and lh_entry structure members is deprecated, in future releases these structures will be declared without being (publicly) defined.

The library name remains at libjson-c.so.5, with just a minor version bump to 5.2.0.
