v1.8.8 - Support flags on ParseJSON() and FormatJSON()

This release added the support for the flags parameter on the ParseJSON() to make the AA returned to be case insensitive, and FormatJSON flag now allows you to disable the escape of non-ASCII characters. There are also, fixes for Left() and Mid() that were not handling negative values properly and Substitute() that now supports the ^0 notation. The chr() and asc() functions were also updated to support extended Unicode. A new custom manifest flag was added: cors_proxy as the proxy is now only enabled when it is added to the app's manifest. The roAudioPlayer and roVideoPlayer components were updated to support the CORS proxy.
