Add JSON field path extraction for params/metrics (ticket 015)

RegexToMetricPrimitiveMatcher and the standalone param declaration
(DeclareParamRequest/DataValue::ParamDeclaration) gain an optional
json_field_path, an alternative to capture_group that reads a
dot-separated field path (e.g. "foo.bar") out of lines that parse as
JSON objects. It's additive and serde-defaulted, so existing
regex-based params/metrics are unaffected. Params.tsx now offers a
"JSON field" extraction option when the message match regex looks
like a JSON object.
