The C standard does not allow for typedef redefinitions, even if they map to the same underlying type. In order to avoid including the "jsmn.h" in "json.h" and thus exposing jsmn's internals, we have exactly such a forward-declaring typedef in "json.h". If enforcing the GNU99 C standard, clang may generate a warning about this non-standard construct.
Fix the issue by using a simple `struct jsmntok` forward declaration
instead of using a typedef.

Sorry for the late response, didn't notice at first that this directly
impacts code I wrote. I don't have Clang available on my computer and
GCC seems to lack the equivalent option for this, so I wasn't able to
reproduce the warning. Below patch should fix the issue, though, as we
simply avoid using a typedef for the forward declaration.
