Vector scans: one compare for the quote and the control characters

The SSE2/NEON tests for the bytes a string run stops at compared with the
quote, with the backslash and with 0x20 separately. Flipping bit 1 maps
0x00-0x1F onto itself and the quote onto 0x20, and every other ASCII byte
to 33 or more, so (c ^ 2) < 33 finds the quote and the control characters
with one compare: signed where the bytes from 0x80 stop the run too,
unsigned (or with a saturating subtraction / minimum on SSE2) where they
do not. This saves one vector operation per 16 bytes in all twelve vector
tests: the lexer's vector_plain_run() and vector_utf8_run(), dump()'s
copy_plain_halves() and copy_plain_vectors(), and json_view's scanner and
serializer. The DEL tests of the ensure_ascii paths stay.
