tools,doc: fix json for grouped optional params

Current tools/doc/json.js only supports one bracket style for optional
params methodName(param0[,param1],param2). Add support to other styles
such as methodName(param0,[param1,]param2) or
methodName(param0[,param1,param2]) or
methodName(param0[,param1[,param2]]).
