[fix][test] Fixed nondeterministic JSON ordering in multiple tests

[LucasEby]

Fixes #24820

Motivation

Each of the tests below were written with the assumption that the json key-value pairs would have a deterministic order (by comparing json results vs hard coded strings). The order of key-value pairs is not guaranteed in JSON files or JSON objects, though. As a result, the ordering can change due to different environments producing the contents in different orders despite the logical contents being the same. Since each of the tests below compare the raw strings/trees "as-is", harmless re-ordering could flip the test from pass to fail despite the data being semantically the same.

• org.apache.pulsar.common.policies.impl.NamespaceIsolationPoliciesTest#testJsonSerialization
• org.apache.pulsar.functions.utils.FunctionConfigUtilsTest#testConvertBackFidelity
• org.apache.pulsar.functions.utils.SinkConfigUtilsTest#testConvertBackFidelity
• org.apache.pulsar.functions.utils.SourceConfigUtilsTest#testBatchConfigMergeEqual
• org.apache.pulsar.io.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchExtractTest#testGenericRecord
• org.apache.pulsar.io.kinesis.UtilsTest#testKeyValueSerializeNoValue.

Modifications

We no longer compare raw strings "as-is" with Assert.assertEquals. Instead, we compare the json structures with JsonAssert.assertEquals(expectedJson, actualJson, JSONCompareMode) which parses both inputs into JSON trees. It treats these JSON trees as unordered collections of key-value pairs when determining if they are equal so differences in property order no longer matter. This ensures the tests pass consistently, even when the serializer outputs fields in a different order.

In essence, these changes keep the spirit of the original tests while eliminating failures caused solely by allowed (but previously unexpected) reordering.
