What issues does this PR fix or reference?

The project meta-data file .che/project.json are written each time a project configuration is updated. This file is currently written in a compact form with no whitespaces or any defined order. This causes every project update to rewrite the only line in the JSON file, making it hard for version control to track the changes or merge them without reporting conflicts.

Previous Behavior

.che/poject.json is written in unordered compact form.

New Behavior

  • .che/poject.json is written in formatted form, separating fields and nested data properly.
  • The fields inside project.json maintain a stable order. They are written in the same order they were read in, placing new data in the end.
  • Use Gson for reading /writing project.json to benefit from its streaming-based JSON serialization.
  • Use UTF-8 consistently for reading/writing the contents of project.json instead of relying on the environment.
