### Summary

Even if `RuntimeDecoder` and `RuntimeEncoder` are the only public items
from the `json` module (via the top-level imports, which remained
unchanged in #2894), reintroduce the `qiskit_ibm_runtime.utils.json`
module with all their private members as a convenience for users that
might be consuming private members, easing the transition.

### Details and comments

Related to #2749, #2920

This does not provide full compatibility, as the

```python
from .json import RuntimeEncoder, RuntimeDecoder, to_base64_string
```

from `qiskit_ibm_runtime/utils/__init__.py` is not included (on purpose,
as it would defeat the goal of reducing import cycles).
