Andrew Bartlett 8744e5df77 bootstrap: Heimdal no longer requires perl-JSON
Heimdal after lorikeet-heimdal-202307040259
(commit 33d117b8a9c11714ef709e63a005d87e34b9bfde)
includes Heimdal master commit f62e2f278437ff6c03d2d09bd628381c795bba78.

This has PR https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/pull/1176 and no
longer requires the external JSON module, as JSON::PP is builtin.

Release Announcements
=====================
This is the first pre release of Samba 4.20. This is *not*
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
Samba 4.20 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
UPGRADING
=========
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================
Removed dependency on Perl JSON module
--------------------------------------
Distributions are advised that the Perl JSON package is no longer
required by Samba builds that use the imported Heimdal. The build
instead uses Perl's JSON::PP built into recent perl5 versions.
Current lists of packages required by Samba for major distributions
are found in the bootstrap/generated-dists/ directory of a Samba
source tree. While there will be some differences - due to features
chosen by packagers - comparing these lists with the build dependencies
in a package may locate other dependencies we no longer require.
