JsonParser: endHandler called before exceptionHandler
### Version

Vert.x 4.3.8

### Context

JsonParser  may now report errors with a call to exceptionHandler after endHandler is called.

In 4.3.7 and earlier releases endHandler was guaranteed to be last callback if the document was valid.

With new behavior it is impossible to determine if a document is valid unless just waiting for events to propagate.

#4597 

### Do you have a reproducer?

```java
@Test
  // 4.3.8 [end][exception]
  // 4.3.7 [exception]
  public void testErrorDoc(TestContext context) {
    var async = context.async();
    StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
    JsonParser jsonParser = JsonParser.newParser();
    jsonParser.endHandler(x -> s.append("[end]"));
    jsonParser.exceptionHandler(x -> s.append("[exception]"));
    jsonParser.write(Buffer.buffer("{"));
    jsonParser.end();
    Vertx.vertx().setTimer(10, x -> {
      context.assertEquals("[end][exception]", s.toString());
      async.complete();
    });
  }
```
