Niels Lohmann da4ce8b8a3 Skip the indentation after a newline 8 bytes at a time
Pretty-printed JSON indents every line with a run of spaces, which
skip_whitespace() read one character at a time. For contiguous input
(bulk_scan) the lexer now skips the spaces after a newline 8 bytes at a
time directly in the input buffer, including the leading spaces of the
last, partial word. This bypasses get(), which is safe because
bulk_scan implies the lazy position from the previous commit: nothing
is counted per character.

Compared to lazy positions alone, pretty-printed input (twitter,
citm_catalog with indent 2 and 4) parses up to 13% faster and accept()
gets up to 30% faster (GCC 13 and clang 18 on x86-64, Apple clang 21 on
arm64). Minified input is unchanged within noise.
