[api] Populate schema defaults for transitive cpp test deps; add json override

- script/build_helpers.py: when injecting a non-MULTI_CONF component
  into the post-validation config, run its CONFIG_SCHEMA with {} so
  defaults are populated. Without this, socket got config = {} and
  socket.FILTER_SOURCE_FILES crashed with KeyError on
  'implementation' (the schema's defaulted key was never filled in).
  Falls back to {} if the schema can't validate empty input.

- tests/components/json/__init__.py: enable codegen for json so its
  to_code runs during cpp unit test builds, registering the
  ArduinoJson library. Required for any api dep test, since
  json_util.cpp #includes <ArduinoJson.h>.

Locally verified 'script/cpp_unit_test.py api' now compiles and runs;
ProtoMacVarint test suite (9 cases) passes.
