This is the fifth part of the Kotlin Serialization rewrite task.

Related Youtrack ticket: KT-81979


* Serialize Kotlin objects to JSON strings using the [`encodeToString()`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.serialization/kotlinx-serialization-json/kotlinx.serialization.json/-json/encode-to-string.html) function.
* Deserialize JSON strings back to Kotlin objects with the [`decodeFromString()`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.serialization/kotlinx-serialization-json/kotlinx.serialization.json/-json/decode-from-string.html) function.
* Work directly with the [`JsonElement`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.serialization/kotlinx-serialization-json/kotlinx.serialization.json/-json-element/) when handling complex JSON structures using the [`encodeToJsonElement()`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.serialization/kotlinx-serialization-json/kotlinx.serialization.json/encode-to-json-element.html) and the [`decodeFromJsonElement()`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.serialization/kotlinx-serialization-json/kotlinx.serialization.json/decode-from-json-element.html) functions.

I see we can nicely add encodeToStream/decodeFromStream to the list here. IMO it's OK to add a separate page for them + Okio integration

Great. Oh, and Okio's encodeToSink/decodeFromSource can also go there

I didn't look through io-sources.md since it is not finished
