Upgrade simdjson lib to 3.7.0 (from 3.2.0)

[PHILO-HE]

Recently, we are proposing a patch to support a Spark JSON function based on simdjson lib. It requires to use json path API which is only available since 3.7.0. So we are trying to upgrade the lib.

Background:

1. See the discussion with @mbasmanova:
   Optimize get_json_object Spark function using simdjson #5179 (comment) (3.7.0 is enough)
2. I also note Masha's discussion with simdjson community to request supporting json path:
   Add full support for JSONPath simdjson/simdjson#2070

Do we actually REQUIRE this version (i see the version set in cml.txt but I mean in the C++? Or is it just a nice to have so we bump the version in resolve_dependency?

Hi @assignUser, thanks for your review!
I posted some background message in PR description. As explained, we would like to use a simdjson API which is available since 3.7.0.

Ok, then this change makes sense. Just wanted to make sure we are not raising the minimum version needlessly. 👍

@PHILO-HE We have some dependencies on simdjson internally, I need to make sure that these changes wont affect them. Please give me some time to look into this.

@PHILO-HE So internally Meta still uses 3.1.8 (which is close to 3.2.0 but not exactly it). We will also need to upgrade our internal dependencies to 3.7.0 and then validate that this doesnt break anything or has any performance regressions. I will require some time for this.

@kgpai, thanks so much for your time!

Hi @kgpai, do you have any update? Thanks!

[mbasmanova]

@PHILO-HE I'm upgrading simdjson internally to 3.8.0. Would it be possible to update to the same version here?
