Add lexical-write-float and update float formatting in JSON serialization

- Added `lexical-write-float` and its dependencies to `Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock` for improved float formatting capabilities.
- Enhanced float formatting functions in `json.rs` to utilize the new lexical library, ensuring more precise and consistent numeric representation.
- Updated tests to validate the new formatting behavior, including handling of small values and special cases.

These changes improve the accuracy and efficiency of float serialization in JSON, addressing previous inconsistencies and enhancing overall data integrity.
