JSON support for BigInt in Chrome/V8

[Andrea Giammarchi]

My idea is that `JSON.stringify(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]));` is also an
issue, not only BigInt.

if every value could be represented as `{{type: 'BigInt', value:
'55555555'}, {new: 'Uint8Array', value: [1, 2, 3]}, {type: 'string', value:
'dastring'}, {type: 'number', value: 123}, {new: 'String', value: 'as
wrap'}}` and resurrected later on it's basically problem solved except for
Weak* and Symbol, unless it's a global one, and it'd be OK.

That transformation would be compatible also with all circular-json like
libraries I know (or I've written).

Regards
