Fix JsonEncode treating tables with index 0 as arrays (#454)

## Summary
- Fix `Util.JsonEncode` incorrectly encoding Lua tables with index 0 as
JSON arrays
- Added `IsLuaArray()` helper function that validates all keys are
integers >= 1
- Tables with non-standard indices (like 0) are now correctly encoded as
JSON objects

  Closes #348

  ## Before
  ```lua
  Util.JsonEncode({[0]="a", [1]=true, [2]=0.1})
  -- Output: ["a",true,0.1]  (incorrect - data loss)
  ```
  ## After
  ```lua
  Util.JsonEncode({[0]="a", [1]=true, [2]=0.1})
  -- Output: {"0":"a","1":true,"2":0.1}  (correct)
  ```
