Glue to hslua for aeson values.

This provides a `StackValue` instance for aeson's `Value` type. The following
conventions are used:

- `Null` values are encoded as the special global `_NULL`. Using `Nil` would
  cause problems with null-containing arrays.

- Objects are converted to tables in a straight-forward way.

- Arrays are converted to lua tables. Array-length is included as the value at
  index 0. This makes it possible to distinguish between empty arrays and empty
  objects.
