The main factory class of Jackson package, used to configure and construct reader (aka parser, JsonParser) and writer (aka generator, JsonGenerator) instances. 

Factory instances are thread-safe and reusable after configuration
(if any). Typically applications and services use only a single
globally shared factory instance, unless they need differently
configured factories. Factory reuse is important if efficiency matters;
most recycling of expensive construct is done on per-factory basis.

Creation of a factory instance is a light-weight operation,
and since there is no need for pluggable alternative implementations
(as there is no "standard" JSON processor API to implement),
the default constructor is used for constructing factory
instances.

Helper method called to work around the problem of this class both defining
general API for constructing parsers+generators AND implementing the API
for JSON handling. Problem here is that when adding new functionality
via factory methods, it is not possible to leave these methods abstract
(because we are implementing them for JSON); but there is risk that
sub-classes do not override them all (plus older version can not implement).
So a work-around is to add a check to ensure that factory is still one
used for JSON; and if not, make base implementation of a factory method fail.
Params:
msg – Message template to use for reporting problem (if necessary)
