Research direction

Start by inspecting the countly.hpp header and locate the using json declaration and other top-level contents. The change is complete when including the header no longer pollutes the global namespace and existing SDK clients can still compile without the namespace workaround.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Without a namespace, the contents of the header polute the global namespace. in particular, the using json is quite unfortunate

clients of this SDK need to wrap the #include <countly.hpp> in a namespace as a work-around
