Document json_document and json_view

- API pages for basic_json_document and basic_json_view, one per member,
  and for the four aliases, each with an example
- features/json_view.md: the problem the view solves, ownership and
  lifetime, what matches basic_json::parse() and what differs, and when
  to choose json, ordered_json, SAX, or the view
- the examples show why one would use the view, not only how: borrowed
  vs. owned input, reading a few fields and materializing one subtree,
  reusing a document across many messages
- registered in the mkdocs navigation, llms.txt, the docset, the
  exceptions page (out_of_range.416), architecture.md, the integration
  page, and the README; the yyjson credit is added to the README and
  license.md

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>is_number
```cpp
bool is_number() const noexcept;
```
This function returns `#!cpp true` if and only if the value is a number, i.e. an integer, unsigned integer, or floating-point value. It is defined as `#!cpp is_number_integer() || is_number_float()`.
## Return value
`#!cpp true` if the type is a number, `#!cpp false` otherwise.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Examples
??? example
The example below classifies several parsed documents by the type of their root value, without materializing any
of them into a `BasicJsonType` value.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__type_predicates.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__type_predicates.output"
```
