Description
The toJSON methods in Array, Dictionary, Result and Document should all throw an unchecked exception if they fail because some string cannot be translated from UTF-8 (Fleece) encoding, to UTF-16 (Java String encoding)
The exception is unchecked in the 3.1 branch ONLY. This avoids changing the API.
Currently all except Document are annotated as @NonNull, when, in fact, they can return null. Document is annotated as @Nullable and should stay that way. All the others should be annotated @NonNull (not a breaking change) but changed to throw an IllegalStateException
