Move elements when converting rvalue containers to JSON (#5837)

* Move elements when converting rvalue containers to JSON

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

* Simplify the rvalue to_json traits

Use negation<disjunction<...>> instead of a conjunction of negations and
keep the template argument lists compact (astyle only keeps the spaced
'< ... >' form when it is written that way).

!!! note "Rvalue containers are moved from"
If `val` is an rvalue of a compatible array-like or object-like container other than `array_t`/`object_t`
(e.g., `json j = std::move(vec);` or `json j(std::vector<std::string>{...});`), the elements are moved into
the JSON value instead of copied. Afterwards, the elements of the source container are in a valid but
unspecified state (**moved-from**). Keys of associative containers are `const` and therefore still copied.
Lvalues and `const` rvalues are copied, and the source is left unchanged.
- **numbers**: [`number_integer_t`](number_integer_t.md), [`number_unsigned_t`](number_unsigned_t.md),
[`number_float_t`](number_float_t.md), and all convertible number types such as `int`, `size_t`, `int64_t`, `float`
or `double` can be used.

by one; if an exception is thrown in the middle of the conversion (e.g., an allocation failure), the JSON value is
unchanged, but the source container may be left partially moved-from.
