Allow integer inputs greater than 999999 to jsonencode (bug #65447)
* NEWS.10.md: Announce that integers and flints are now output without ".0" suffix.
* jsonencode.cc (encode_numeric): Remove test for floating point integers being below
999999 in order to write out as integer. Add new "else if" block to process integer
inputs and write them as integers.
* jsonencode.cc (encode): Better comments for if/else if tree decoding input type.
* jsonencode_BIST.tst: New tests for integer inputs and for flints greater than 1e6.
