Add editable json_documents: set, push_back, insert, and erase
basic_json_document gets a second template parameter, Editable (false by default), plus the aliases json_editable_document, json_editable_view, ordered_json_editable_document and ordered_json_editable_view. Editable documents can change values and structure without rewriting the source text: set()/push_back() on values, keys, array indices and JSON pointers; insert() before an array element; erase() of an object key, array index or JSON pointer. New values and element sequences go into edit storage that the document owns and never moves, so views keep referring to their value across edits and a parsed node never moves. Read-only documents walk the plain node array and are unaffected. Strings are checked for UTF-8 on entry, so dump() of an editable document never throws type_error.316. Binary values cannot be stored (type_error.319). A seeded differential test applies random edits to an editable document and to the equivalent ordered_json and compares both after every step.

All `flags` are 0. The integer's bytes 8-15 hold its value, 1; its `extra` says it has one digit. The float's `extra`

says it has one integer and one fraction digit, and its `len` is that of the token `2.5`.

never write the source text and never move or resize the parsed index, so views stay valid while the document is

edited:
|

|

- A new scalar is written over its node. Its text (a string, or the token of a number as `dump()` writes it) goes to
|
||||
the edit buffer, which `flags` bits 0-1 then name.
|
||||
- An array or object whose elements change gets the flag *moved* (bit 3): its elements then live in a separate
|
||||
sequence (a header node, then the entries), whose number is in `off`. The entries are links (`kind` 10), whose bytes
|
||||
8-15 hold the address of the value's node, so values never move.
|
||||
- A node written by an edit gets the flag *new* (bit 4): it has no position in the source text.
|
||||
- Views of read-only documents compile without any of this: how views walk the index is a template parameter
|
||||
(`navigation<Editable>`).
