Pages ending with a ".json" suffix in the Module namespace will use the
built-in JSON content model by default. Previously editors had to use
Special:ChangeContentModel to get a JSON page, which requires the
"editcontentmodel" userright that is not granted to a wide set of users
by default.

(cherry picked from commit 4ccebcdf4b)
Backporting this so the LTS release has forwards compatibility with
Wikipedia templates.
mw.loadData() allows for optimizing the loading Lua tables by requiring
only one parse and lookup. However it's often easier for people to
write/maintain bulk data in JSON rather than Lua tables.
mw.loadJsonData() has roughly the same characteristics as mw.loadData()
and it can be used on JSON content model pages in any namespace.
As noted on the linked bug report, it's possible to already implement
this by writing a wrapper Lua module that loads and parses the JSON
content. But that requires a dummy module for each JSON page, which is
just annoying and inconvenient.
Test cases are copied from the mw.loadData() ones, with a few omissions
for syntax not supported in JSON (e.g. NaN, infinity, etc.).

This is being backported because many users copy lua modules from
Wikipedia, and thus benefit from forwards-compatibility.
For the most part, it is a good idea to avoid global variables and use
`local` variables instead. Quoting from the ScopeTutorial[1], "The
general rule is to always use local variables, unless it's necessary for
every part of your program to be able to access the variable (which is
very rare)."
Wikimedia module authors have written "Module:No globals", which errors
on the use of any global variable. On the English Wikipedia, this is
used on 32% of pages (18 million). Wikidata[2] indicates that it's been
copied to 334 other wikis.
Lua itself distributes an extra named "strict.lua"[3], which is what
this is based off of. Similar to bit32.lua, this is a pure-Lua library
that can be imported/enabled with `require( "strict" )` at the top of a
module.
The two changes I made from Lua's strict is to exempt the `arg` key,
which is used internally by Scribunto, and remove `what()`, since we
don't enable access to `debug.getinfo()` for security reasons.

In Chromium-based browsers the lack of padding means the cursor
isn't visible in the textarea when focused. In this case, it's
probably more important for the cursor to be visible than the
lack of padding to make it look more like a terminal.

(cherry picked from commit 835631de27)
This fixes a warning on php8.1 related to preg_match_all returning
null when given invalid UTF-8.
I made a separate patch to change the null into an exception Ic0c9083b
In a sense, this is a follow-up to ec103b6966.
