Niels Lohmann b22cad367c docs: correct and extend the CBOR documentation
Fix the negative-integer rows (they used MessagePack boundaries), the
number_integer range of the 0x1B row, and the half-precision entry in the
list of unused types; correct the NaN history (0xF9 since 3.8.0) and the
tagged-item wording (only the tag directly in front of a byte string is
stored, and only in the 0xD8..0xDB form). Document that to_cbor is not
RFC 8949 deterministic, that duplicate keys are accepted (last wins),
tags in front of keys, per-chunk UTF-8 validation, the exceptions
parse_error.113, out_of_range.406/408 of from_cbor, the pointer and
C array input traps, the partially written output on exceptions, and the
store/ignore results in the binary values example. Drop the claim that
the CBOR reader needs StringType::append(const StringType&) and
BinaryType::insert(pos, first, last).
