Problem: serde_json 1.0.45 breaks jmespath.rs

[yrashk]

It fails to compile:

error[E0603]: enum `ErrorCode` is private
 --> src/variable.rs:9:32
  |
9 | use serde_json::error::{Error, ErrorCode};
  |                                ^^^^^^^^^

error[E0624]: method `syntax` is private
    --> src/variable.rs:1205:29
     |
1205 |             _ => return Err(Error::syntax(ErrorCode::KeyMustBeAString, 0, 0)),

This happens because serde_json made Error::syntax and ErrorCode available only to serde_json itself.

Solution: make serde_json trigger an error we need

It's an ugly kludge but at least it works :) It creates a HashMap with a non-string key and passes this off to serde_json. It triggers the error we need.

This is unlikely to be a great solution long term, but at least it makes jmespath.rs compile without pinning it to 1.0.44 forever.

this issue also break some of my user that use cargo install xxxx to install my app based on one of my lib that uses jmespath.

Can you fix the issue (with this PR or other) and do a release ?

Thanks
