Jordan Bancino 3a683dbb70 Fix includes in headers.
These are installed to the system and some compilers may not  find the
headers in the current directory if we don't do this, even though
according to the C standard, either should work.

/***
* @Nm Json
* @Nd A fully-featured JSON API.
* @Dd March 12 2023
* @Xr HashMap Array Stream
*
* .Nm
* is a fully-featured JSON API for C using the array and hash map
* APIs. It can parse JSON, ans serialize an in-memory structure to
* JSON. It build on the foundation of Array and HashMap because that's
* all JSON really is, just arrays and maps.
* .Nm
* also provides a structure for encapsulating an arbitrary value and
* identifying its type, making it easy for a strictly-typed language
* like C to work with loosely-typed JSON data.
* .Nm
* is very strict and tries to adhere as closely as possible to the
* proper definition of JSON. It will fail on syntax errors of any
* kind, which is fine for a Matrix homeserver that can just return
* M_BAD_JSON if anything in here fails, but this behavior may not be
* suitable for other purposes.
* .Pp
* This JSON implementation focuses primarily on serialization and
* deserialization to and from streams. It does not provide facilities
* for handling JSON strings; it only writes JSON to output streams,
* and reads them from input streams. Of course, you can use the
* POSIX
* .Xr fmemopen 3
* and
* .Xr open_memstream 3
* functions if you want to deal with JSON strings, but JSON is
* intended to be an exchange format. Data should be converted to JSON
* right when it is leaving the program, and converted from JSON to the
* in-memory format as soon as it is coming in.
* .Pp
* JSON objects are represented as hash maps consisting entirely of
* JsonValue structures, and arrays are represented as arrays
* consisting entirely of JsonValue structures. When generating a
* JSON object, any attempt to stuff a value into a hash map or array
* without first encoding it as a JsonValue will result in undefined
* behavior.
