encoding/json: limit max nesting depth

Limit the maximum nesting depth when parsing to protect against stack
overflow, permitted by https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-9

A nesting depth limit of 10,000 was chosen to be a conservative
balance between avoiding stack overflow and avoiding impacting
legitimate JSON documents.

10,000 is less than 1% of the experimental stack depth limit
with the default stack size:
* On 64-bit systems, the default stack limit is 1GB,
  which allows ~2,800,000 frames of recursive parsing
* On 32-bit systems, the default stack limit is 250MB,
  which allows ~1,100,000 frames of recursive parsing

Fixes #31789
