JSON support for BigInt in Chrome/V8

[Andrea Giammarchi]

actually, `{type: 'String', value: ''}` ... so the rule is: usable as class
? `{new: 'ClassName', value: 'how to construct it'}` : `{type: 'Primitive',
value: 'how to create it'}` and the unserialized value uses `new
global[obj.new](obj.value)` or `global[obj.type](obj.value)` to recreate
the value.
