Fix JSON nil response handling - align with Redis behavior

- Non-existent keys return redis.Nil (consistent with other Redis commands)
- Non-existent paths in existing keys return empty array '[]'
- Fix broken test that was using wrong doc1 reference
- Add comprehensive test coverage for JSON nil scenarios

This aligns with official Redis JSON.GET behavior:
- Missing keys should return nil error like other Redis commands
- Missing paths should return empty JSON array, not error
