Make parsing from std::istream and FILE* fast (#5828)
* Make parsing from std::istream and FILE* fast
Squashed onto develop cd6b428ef (CI fixes from #5860). Original commits:
- Let the lexer's bulk fast paths run on a window of the input
- Scan the get area of an input stream in bulk
- Lock a FILE once per parse instead of once per character
- Add benchmarks for parsing from a FILE* and for many values from a stream
- Avoid implicit unsigned char to char conversion in stream tests
- Make file_input_adapter::unlock() safe to call on a moved-from adapter

* Add ABI tags for JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN and JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO
Both macros select between two definitions of an input adapter, so
translation units compiled with different settings violated the ODR when
linked together. Like the other ABI-affecting macros, they now append a
tag to the inline namespace: _dsbs and _dufio. Their defaults move to
abi_macros.hpp so that json_fwd.hpp sees them, and the natvis file is
regenerated for the new namespaces.

* Skip the exception-only checks of the stream input tests without exceptions

!!! tip "Performance"
|
||||
|
||||
Contiguous inputs (strings, string views, vectors, arrays, pointer ranges) are the fastest to parse. A
|
||||
`#!cpp std::istream` comes close: the parser scans the characters its stream buffer holds in bulk, without reading
|
||||
ahead, so the stream is left exactly where it would be after reading one character at a time. A `#!cpp FILE*` is
|
||||
read one character at a time, but the file is locked only once, so other threads that use the same `FILE` object
|
||||
wait until parsing is done. See [input sources and performance](../../features/parsing/index.md#input-sources-and-performance),

[`JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN`](../macros/json_disable_stream_bulk_scan.md), and
