First line of an array cannot be a comment

To address the issue where the first line of an array cannot be a comment, follow these steps:

Update Pest Grammar: Modify the datamodel.pest file to allow comments at the start of arrays.

array = { "[" ~ (whitespaces? ~ comment_block ~ whitespaces? ~ value ~ ("," ~ value)*)? ~ "]" }

Adjust JSON Parsing Logic: Update the json_parse_state.rs file to handle comments at the start of arrays.

// In json_parse_state.rs, modify the logic to handle comments at the start of arrays
if let Some(JsonCollection::Array) = self.collection_stack.last() {
    if let Some(JsonCollection::TrailingComment | JsonCollection::BlockComment) = self.collection_stack.get(self.collection_stack.len() - 2) {
        // Handle the comment appropriately
    }
}

These changes should allow comments to be the first line in an array and provide better error handling.
