Security fix for GHSA-4cf7-xm37-g63h.
Custom claim, header, and JWK field names are now JSON-escaped on output.
Previously a name was written between the quotes as is, so a name containing
" could close its own member and add members the application never set.
For example, calling Set with the name x":0,"admin produced a signed
token containing "admin":true. Every name now yields exactly one member,
and names that need no escaping serialize exactly as before. A name that is
not valid UTF-8 now fails serialization instead of being written raw.
See the Changes file for guidance on screening caller-supplied names.
Fixed in v4.5.0 and v3.3.0. v2, v1, and v0 are unmaintained and will not
receive a fix.
