json-parser: add location to JSON parsing errors

Now that all calls to parse_error have a token, add the line and column
to the message.  As far as I can see the two important TODOs (better
errors and better EOI handling) are done, and the others (token range
information and "parsed size"?) do not really matter or are handled
better by json-streamer.c.  So remove the list, which had sat unchanged
since 2009.

This needs some adjustments to provide a good x and y for error messages.
First of all, they switch from zero-based to one-based, which is safe
because they were both sitting unused.  Second, right now the x and y
are those of the *last* character in the token.  Modify json-lexer.c to
freeze tok->x and tok->y at the first character added to the GString.
