[cmake-developers] adding FindJsonCpp

[Farbos a]

I have a concern with generating package configs:

1 It seems to contain absolute path, so not really portable with git.
2 It does not respect the naming of imported targets with `::`. As you
can see here: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/git-master/manual/cmake-developer.7.html#a-sample-find-module
The fact that it produces an appropriate diagnostic messages if that
target does not exist is really helpful.

Thanks,
