* Fix JSONBoundField usage on nested serializers (#6211)
* Unify JSONBoundField as_form_field output between py2 and py3
When using json.dumps with indenting, in python2 the default formatting
prints whitespace after commas (,) and python3 does not. This can be
unified with the separators keyword argument.

* Use compat version of collections.abc.Mapping
Since the Mapping class will no longer be available to import directly
from the collections module in Python 3.8, we should use the
compatibility helper introduced in #6154 in the fields module.
* Alias and use compat version of collections.abc.MutableMapping
Since the MutableMapping class will no longer be available to import
directly from the collections module in Python 3.8, we should create an
alias for it in the compat module and use that instead.
Per issue #4999, JSONFields are not rendered properly in the DRF
browsable API HTML forms. This patch attempts to fix that behavior by
introducing a JSONBoundField helper similar to the NestedBoundField
helper.
If a NestedBoundField field has a value of `None` and is inside another NestedBoundField field, it will have its value converted to an empty string while the form of its enclosing field is being rendered. So, NestedBoundField fields with an empty string value must be handled the same way as NestedBoundField fields with a `None` value.
