Description:
------------
json_encode is ignoring PHP integer precision and losing precision on large doubles. The patch below changes json_enode double to match the same conversion done internally in _convert_to_string.

This is related to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40503 and reverts the patch applied there. Tested against these use cases as well.

Reproduce code:
---------------
json_encode(123456789.12345)

Expected result:
----------------
123456789.12345 = 123456789.12345

Actual result:
--------------
123456789.12345 = 123456789
