- Copying is disabled because of its cost, not because of two documents
borrowing the same buffer; the unique_ptr follows from move-only.
- Inputs: streams, FILE*, and wide characters (strings, arrays, pointers)
are all supported and owned; point to parse_copy() for owned copies.
- The error replay only runs for failing input, builds no values, and is
skipped with allow_exceptions = false.
- read() writes copied inputs into the previous owned copy.
- Views can dangle like std::string_view, and why there is no
shared/weak pointer design.
- The 4 GiB limit (16-byte nodes, 16-byte scanner steps), streams being
read to the end first, which macros apply, why materialize() has no
source positions, and wording nits (accept() vs basic_json::accept(),
is_binary, is_discarded, see-also lists, size table, "back into").

parse(ptr, len) compiled: len converted to allow_exceptions, and ptr was
read as a C string, past the end of a buffer without a terminating NUL.
Delete the overloads of parse, parse_copy, accept, and read that take an
integer other than bool where the flags are expected.

Add json_document and json_view, a read-only, zero-copy index of a
JSON text, as the first public slice of the zero-copy view (#5295).
A parse produces a flat array of 16-byte nodes in document order,
one per value and one per object key. Strings stay in the source
text; escaped strings are decoded into an arena. Integers are
converted while their digits are in the cache; floats keep only
their digit layout and are converted on read. Containers store the
size of their subtree, so a reader can step over one in constant
time. A document makes a handful of allocations, however many
values it has.
The parser accepts exactly what json::parse accepts, with every
combination of ignore_comments and ignore_trailing_commas, with and
without a trailing NUL, and under JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING. It is
portable C++11 and does not depend on byte order.
basic_json_document adds parse, parse_copy, accept, read (reuses a
document's memory), root, is_discarded, source, owns_source,
node_count, memory_usage, and shrink_to_fit. basic_json_view adds
type, the is_* queries, operator bool, size, empty, materialize,
and source_offset. A parse error throws the same exception
basic_json::parse would throw for the same input, message and
position included.
detail::abi_config keeps JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING and
JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON readable after json.hpp
undefines them, in the ABI namespace so they always match the
basic_json in use.
A NUL byte that ends a // comment is the end of the input, as in
parse() since #5696.
