Name the source and license of adapted code in the file comments (#5965)

The files with code adapted from fast_float, Zmij and simdjson carried the
authors' SPDX copyright lines, but their file comments did not say what
was taken or under which license: number_parse.hpp, to_chars.hpp,
simd_scan.hpp and view/simd.hpp now do, as zmij.hpp and the yyjson-based
view files already did. README and the license page now also name
fast_float's eight-digit parsing and the lexer's use of simdjson's UTF-8
check. Comments only.
