Niels Lohmann c9477ccf91 Throw when JSON Patch remove's target path resolves through a primitive or null parent (#5496) ...

RFC 6902 (section 4.2) requires the target location of a "remove"
operation to exist. operation_remove handled parent.is_object() and
parent.is_array(), but had no final else branch: when the resolved
parent was a primitive value or null, neither branch matched and the
operation silently did nothing instead of failing.

Add the missing else branch, throwing out_of_range.413 with wording
that matches the existing out_of_range.411 thrown by the analogous
"add" case (operation_add) for the same kind of invalid parent.

Fixes #5396.
