Document MessagePack ext types and fix related doc errors (#5928)

Browse Source 
* Document MessagePack ext types and fix related doc errors

Add an "Extension types (ext, fixext)" section to the MessagePack page:
ext/fixext are read as binary, the signed ext type is exposed as an
unsigned subtype 0..255 (-1 reads as 255), Timestamp is not interpreted,
subtypes are always written as ext/fixext, and subtypes above 255 throw
out_of_range.415. Add the 0xC1 row to the deserialization table, note
that duplicate keys keep the last value, and correct the NaN/Infinity
explanation, the "31 bytes / 15 elements" wording, the ill-formed UTF-8
sentence, and the generic 0xC1-key error message.

Add fixext16 and the unsigned subtype mapping to binary_t.md and
binary_values.md, reword "maximum of the MessagePack ext type" in
to_msgpack.md and exceptions.md, and mark MessagePack deserialization
as incomplete (non-string keys) in the binary formats overview.

* Address review of the MessagePack documentation

Name parse_error.113 for a 0xC1 map key, move the duplicate-key sentence out of the ext section, and keep the 0xC1 row in marker order.

### MessagePack
[MessagePack](binary_formats/messagepack.md) supports binary values and subtypes. If a subtype is given, the ext family
is used. The library will choose the smallest representation among fixext1, fixext2, fixext4, fixext8, ext8, ext16, and
ext32. The subtype is then added as a signed 8-bit integer.
is used. The library will choose the smallest representation among fixext1, fixext2, fixext4, fixext8, fixext16, ext8,
ext16, and ext32. The subtype is then written as the signed 8-bit ext type: subtypes 128 to 255 map to the negative
(reserved) ext types, and on reading the ext type is exposed as an unsigned subtype from 0 to 255.
If no subtype is given, the bin family (bin8, bin16, bin32) is used.
