Add %JSON.Adaptor to Persistent System Classes

Currently, system classes such as Security.Applications, %UnitTest.Result.*, and %UnitTest.Result.TestInstance extend from XML.Adaptor, allowing for convenient generation of XML-formatted output from objects. To enable similar functionality for JSON, these classes should also extend from %JSON.Adaptor, making it easier to retrieve JSON-formatted output effortlessly.

    IRIS 26.1 offers robust REST APIs for administrators that also cover the classes/APIs described in this idea, returning/accepting them in JSON. We believe it's better to build on those REST APIs than fiddle with these server side classes, who carry a lot of historical baggage that may not work well using %JSON.Adapter raw
