json_view: dump() without StringType::capacity() (#5994)

output_buffer::grow() compared the output size with m_out.capacity(),
which the StringType requirements do not include, so dump() did not
compile with the tests' alt_string. Keep what was last reserved in the
buffer itself and use it as a lower bound of the capacity instead.

Add json_view tests with alt_string (read-only and editable documents,
dump with several growth steps, save/load), and document reserve(n) and
resize(n) as the StringType requirements of basic_json_view::dump.
