    Remove org.json, an ASF Category X dependency
    
    org.json:json:20090211 is declared in pxf-hive as an
    `implementation` dependency, so it is packed into the pxf-service
    Spring Boot application JAR and ships inside every convenience RPM,
    DEB and tarball we publish.
    
    Its license carries the "The Software shall be used for Good, not
    Evil" clause. The ASF moved the JSON license to Category X on
    2016-11-03, which forbids it in any Apache release, source or
    binary. This is a release blocker that documentation cannot fix:
    the dependency has to go.
    
    Nothing in PXF references org.json. The declaration is annotated
    "transitive dependency required by MapR", which does not apply to
    Apache Cloudberry. Remove it along with its dependencyManagement
    pin.
    
    Verified on Rocky 9: the build succeeds, the full unit test suite
    stays green (1807 tests, 0 failures), and the application JAR drops
    from 153 bundled JARs to 152 with json-20090211.jar gone.
    
    See: https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x
