refactor: replace org.json with kotlinx.serialization in source files

Sweeps the last org.json usages out of the Kotlin sources and moves them
to kotlinx.serialization's JSON tree API (already the project standard):

- nappletHost: bridge/broker envelope handling in NappletHostActivity,
  NappletHostService, NappletBrowserActivity, NappletBrowserService and
  NappletFaviconSniffer now parses with Json.parseToJsonElement via new
  total helpers in JsonEnvelope.kt (absent/mistyped fields degrade to
  empty/false instead of throwing, matching the old opt* semantics).
  Adds the kotlinx-serialization-json runtime to the module (tree API
  only, so no serialization plugin needed).
- amethyst embed IME relay: EmbeddedImeBridge parses ime.* envelopes
  with JsonObject accessors; RemoteImeView and EmbeddedTabLayer build
  their outgoing envelopes with buildJsonObject.
- tools/ime-test: drops the now-stale "org.json is stubbed in JVM unit
  tests" rationale from the README and shim-events.mjs header.
