ITIDA Canonicalize JSON and Compute SHA256 Hash

Demonstrates creating the canonical (ITIDA) version of a JSON document, and then computes the SHA256 hash of the canonicalized JSON. C++

    bool success = false;

    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  Load the JSON containing the document to be signed.

    //  The JSON file should look like this:
    //  NOTE: The JSON should NOT begin with "{ "documents" : [ ..."

    //        {
    //           "issuer":{
    //              "address":{
