Issue popped up when using `fromJson` into an array but the JSON passed
is an object
```nim
import std/[jsonutils, json]
let data = parseJson """
{"key": "value"}
"""
var foo: seq[int]
foo.fromJson(data)
echo foo #> @[0]
```
Basically the `setLen` would set the size to be equal to the number of
keys, but `getElems` just returns an empty array if the JSON isn't an
array which lead to it just creating zero'd items in the seq without
letting the user know.
Felt adding the checks was better than just skipping the `setLen` since
it lets the user know that there is a problem with the JSON
split from #24425
The added test did not work previously. The result of `getTypeImpl` is
the uninstantiated AST of the original type symbol, and the macro
attempts to use this type for the result. To fix the issue, the provided
`typedesc` argument is used instead.
* Add test for tuple being invalid size

* compiler/vmhooks: add getVar to allow vmops with var params
* addFloat vmops with var param
* cgen now renders float32 literals in c backend using roundtrip float to string
* Add some enhancements to `jsonutils.nim`
* Use `jsonutils.nim` hookable API to add a possibility to deserialize
JSON arrays directly to `HashSet` and `OrderedSet` types and
respectively to serialize those types to JSON arrays.
* Also add a possibility to deserialize JSON `null` objects to Nim
option objects and respectively to serialize Nim option object to JSON
object if some or to JSON `null` object if none.
* Move serialization/deserialization functionality for `Table` and
`OrderedTable` types from `jsonutils.nim` to `tables.nim` via the
hookable API.
* Add object `jsonutils.Joptions` and parameter from its type to
`jsonutils.fromJson` procedure to control whether to allow
deserializing JSON objects to Nim objects when the JSON has some
extra or missing keys.
* Add unit tests for the added functionalities to `tjsonutils.nim`.
* improve fromJsonFields
* Add changelog entry for the jsonutils enhancements
* Add TODO in `jsonutils.nim`
* Added an entry to "Future directions" section in `jsonutils.nim` as
suggestion for future support of serialization and de-serialization of
nested variant objects.
* Added currently disabled test case in `tjsonutils.nim` for testing
serialization and de-serialization of nested variant objects.
* Move JSON hooks to `jsonutils.nim`
Move `fromJsonHook` and `toJsonHook` procedures for different types to
`jsonutils.nim` module to avoid a dependency of collections modules to
the `json.nim` module.
The hooks are removed from the following modules:
* `tables.nim`
* `sets.nim`
* `options.nim`
* `strtabs.nim`
* Add some tests about `StringTableRef`
Add tests for `StringTableRef`'s `fromJsonHook` and `toJsonHook` to
`tjsonutils.nim`.
* Disable a warning in `jsonutils.nim`
Mark `fun` template in `jsonutils` module with `{.used.}` pragma in
order to disable `[XDeclaredButNotUsed]` hint. The template is actually
used by the `initCaseObject` macro in the same module.
