AGK Core fixes

Fixed array FromJSON() crashing when converting an empty string into an integer or float
Fixed a problem with the print command not dealing with more than 20 digits in a float. Previously anything greater than this would cause a silent crash
Fixed a crash when using SetMusicLoopTimesOGG
