kong.JSON doesn't load camelCase values in embedded structs

[jraby]

Hi,

I haven't dug into this much, but I was seeing some strange behavior when trying to load values from a json file when using embedded structs.

for some reason, camelCase keys in the json file do not get picked up when they are used in embedded structs.

The following testcase shows the problem:

func TestConfigReallyLoadsValues(t *testing.T) {
	type Level struct {
		Flag      string `json:"flag" required:""`
		WithSnake string `json:"with_snake,omitempty" required:""`
		WithCamel string `json:"withCamel,omitempty" required:""`
	}
	var cli struct {
		TopSnake string `json:"top_snake" required:""`
		TopCamel string `json:"topCamel" required:""`
		Level    `json:"level" prefix:"level." embed:""`
	}

	cli.TopCamel = "filled"
	cli.TopSnake = "filled"
	cli.Level.WithCamel = "filled"
	cli.Level.WithSnake = "filled"
	cli.Level.Flag = "filled"
	conf, cleanConf := makeConfig(t, &cli)
	defer cleanConf()

	b, err := os.ReadFile(conf)
	assert.NoError(t, err)
	log.Printf("data: %s", b)

	p := mustNew(t, &cli, kong.Configuration(kong.JSON, conf))
	_, err = p.Parse(nil)
	assert.NoError(t, err)
}

Top level keys expressed as snake or camel are properly parsed, but for the embedded struct, only the snake case version is picked up.
