JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS: comparing a value-initialized iterator throws instead of crashing

With JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS, comparing a value-initialized iterator
(which has no container) with another iterator built the
invalid_iterator.212 message from the byte positions of the iterator's
value, which is a null pointer: UBSan reports "member call on null
pointer" in exception::get_byte_positions(), then the process crashes.
Every other configuration throws invalid_iterator.212.

get_byte_positions() now returns no positions for a null value, as the
JSON_DIAGNOSTICS path already does.
