[Syslog-ng-maintainers] Bug#821079: syslog-ng json-c transition

Hi Ondřej,

I'm sure and even tested that syslog-ng won't hold back the json-c
transition - only need to be binNMUed.
Upstream just took extra care on portability. The code in question[1]
emulates the missing json_tokener_error_desc() with
json_tokener_errors[] if the json-c library is an old version (#ifndef
JSON_C_VERSION).

As this helps backporting, I don't see a reason to remove this piece of code.

Regards,
