Description

As discussed in ~~CASSANDRA-7970~~, it would be good to extend support for the toJson() and fromJson() functions to all contexts. They are currently limited to the selection clause and insert/update/delete values, respectively.

This will require some improvements to the internal type system, especially for fromJson(), which will likely require a generalized "some type" representation, similar to what is currently used for bind markers.
