yajl: Add patch for CMake 4+ compatibility and fix build issue

- CMake 3.0 and newer disallow reading the LOCATION property of targets directly.
Instead, use the recommended $<TARGET_FILE:target> generator expression when
referencing the output binary in add_custom_command.

Fixes:

| CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:15 (CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED):
|   Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.
|
|   Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
|   to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
|   to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.
|
|   Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.
|
|
| -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

-----

| CMake Error at reformatter/CMakeLists.txt:38 (GET_TARGET_PROPERTY):
|   The LOCATION property may not be read from target "json_reformat".  Use the
|   target name directly with add_custom_command, or use the generator
|   expression $<TARGET_FILE>, as appropriate.
|
|
|
| CMake Error at verify/CMakeLists.txt:32 (GET_TARGET_PROPERTY):
|   The LOCATION property may not be read from target "json_verify".  Use the
|   target name directly with add_custom_command, or use the generator
|   expression $<TARGET_FILE>, as appropriate.
