Returns the path to a JSON object that is part of a linked list structure.
The path returned would be suitable for input to json_get_by_path and related routines.
If an error occurs (which in this case means a malformed
JSON structure) then an exception will be thrown, unless
found is present, which will be set to false. path
will be a blank string.
If json%path_mode/=1, then the use_alt_array_tokens
and path_sep inputs are ignored if present.
http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/ (path_mode=3)
does not specify whether or not the keys should be escaped (this routine
assumes not, as does http://jsonpath.com).
Also, we are using Fortran-style 1-based array indices,
not 0-based, to agree with the assumption in path_mode=1
