Parsing from a FILE* still read one character at a time through
getc_unlocked(), while a std::istream has its get area scanned in bulk.
file_input_adapter now offers the lexer the same kind of window into the
buffer of the FILE: it reads the fields that the C library's own
getc_unlocked() macro reads (glibc: _IO_read_ptr and _IO_read_end; Apple:
_p and _r) and consumes exactly the characters getc_unlocked() would
return, so the file is left where it was left before. The part of the
current token in a buffer that is about to be refilled is kept for error
messages, as for streams. The window needs the file locked for the whole
parse, so JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO and MemorySanitizer builds turn it
off; uClibc, which defines __GLIBC__ but has other fields, does not get it.
parse() from a FILE* gets 2.0-2.6x as fast on an Apple M1 Max and 1.7-2.2x
on x86-64 (glibc, GCC 15 and Clang 21), accept() 2.9-4.4x; that is about as
fast as parsing from a std::ifstream. The new tests read with FILE buffers
of 1 to 70 bytes and unbuffered files, after ungetc(), with SAX positions
and with binary strings across the buffer's edges.

* 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
