Hold the token carry buffer in a std::unique_ptr

clang-tidy rejected the raw new[]/delete[] of token_carry_buffer
(cppcoreguidelines-owning-memory) and the capacity computation
(readability-use-std-min-max). The storage is now owned by a
std::unique_ptr<char[]>, as in json_view's edit storage, and the new
capacity is a std::max.

istream parse instructions (Apple clang, twitter, citm, canada, floats)
are unchanged within noise.
