Context bug - PCRE JIT Stack Limit issue with large JSON contexts

[essell]

I discovered a silent failure that causes contexts to not be parsed properly in Laravel logs. This happens particularly when you are logging request/response objects from REST APIs and the JSON gets fairly large.

The preg_last_error_msg() is "JIT stack limit"

This is due to PHP relying on the PCRE JIT library which has a stack limit, mostly due to it not using POSIX threads. The regex used to match JSON is highly recursive (and has to be, to work).

I intend to create a pull request to fix this issue, which forgoes using preg to match json from log text. It will maintain the ability to parse out multiple contexts.
