The PR extends the External Data Plugin to support JSON files, analogous to added support for excel/csv in #2429.
Code for handling the json is heavily based on https://github.com/kazantsev033/SpecFlow.Contrib.JsonData by @kazantsev033, but support was added for nested arrays of json objects.
The new concept is demonstrated by the /Plugins/SpecFlow.ExternalData/sample/ExternalDataSample/Features/ExternalDataFromJson.feature file.
