Definition of alternate handling modes of single-argument constructors that are annotated with JsonCreator but without "mode" definition (or explicit name for the argument): this is the case where two interpretations are possible -- "properties" (in which case the argument is named parameter of a JSON Object) and "delegating (in which case the argument maps to the whole JSON value).

Default choice is HEURISTIC (which is Jackson pre-2.12 always uses)

NOTE: does NOT have any effect if explicit @JsonCreator} annotation is required.
