Summary

See PHI749. Ref T13164. We currently misdetect files starting with [submodule ... as JSON.

Make this a bit stricter:

  • If the file is short, just see if it's actually literally real JSON.
  • If the file is long, give up.

This should get the right result in pretty much all the cases people care about, I think. We could make the long-file guesser better some day.

Test Plan

Detected a [submodule ... file (no longer JSON) and a {"duck": "quack"} file (still JSON).
