    METRON-449 - JSON Parser should unfold nested maps

    For greater flexibility and utility the JSONMapParser should support unfolding maps to arbitrary depths.
    
    This change introduces a new function called recursively to handle this, because the enum lambdas cannot reference themselves.

    JSONMapParser should handle unfolding nested maps
    
    The JSONMapParser only supports unfolding of maps at the root of the
    JSON object.  It would be better if it could unfold to arbitrary depths
    for broader range of support.
    
    This is added by introducing recursion to the UNFOLD functionality.
    Because you can’t self reference in the enum lambda, I have added a
    private function which can recurse and had the lambda call that.
    It is possible that there is a better way to implement this, so
    hopefully that will come out in review.

>            Reporter: Otto Fowler
>
> The JSONMapParser's unfolding function only unfolds maps at the root level
> such as "collection" : { "blah" : 7, "blah2" : "foo" }.
> This limits the utility of the parser, since it is likely that someone would have to do a good deal of transformation before hand.
> The ability for the parser to handle nested objects ( maps ) to arbitrary depth would greatly add to the utility of this parser.
