whenIgnoringPaths doesn't ignore missing paths

See original GitHub issue

I’m using the AssertJ integration of JsonUnit (net.javacrumbs.json-unit:json-unit-assertj:2.6.1) and expected JsonAssert#whenIgnoringPaths(String ...) to ignore missing paths/keys as well.

The documentation at https://github.com/lukas-krecan/JsonUnit/tree/json-unit-parent-2.6.1#ignorepaths says (emphasize by me):

whenIgnoringPaths configuration option makes JsonUnit ignore the specified paths in the actual value. If the path matches, it’s completely ignored. It may be missing, null or have any value.

The following test is failing, though:

assertThatJson("{\"root\":{\"foo\":1}}")
        .whenIgnoringPaths("root.bar", "missing")
        .isEqualTo("{\"root\":{\"foo\":1, \"bar\":2}, \"missing\":{\"quux\":\"test\"}}");

net.javacrumbs.jsonunit.core.internal.JsonAssertError: JSON documents are different:
Different keys found in node "", missing: "missing", expected: <{"missing":{"quux":"test"},"root":{"bar":2,"foo":1}}> but was: <{"root":{"foo":1}}>
Different keys found in node "root", missing: "root.bar", expected: <{"bar":2,"foo":1}> but was: <{"foo":1}>
