Keep the first of duplicate keys in the object hash index again

Lookups in objects with 128 members or more return the first member of a
repeated key again, like the linear search of smaller objects. This undoes
the code change of a69542046; its test now expects the first member from
lookups (with and without a table) and the last value from materialize()
and basic_json::parse().

- **Large objects** (128 members or more) get a hash index after parsing
([`detail/view/object_index.hpp`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/include/nlohmann/detail/view/object_index.hpp)):
an open-addressing table whose slots hold the distance from the object's node to a key's node, so that a lookup does
not compare every key. Of duplicate keys the table leads to the last, as a linear search does. The object's `extra`
not compare every key. Of duplicate keys the table leads to the first, as a linear search does. The object's `extra`
holds the number of its table. Only 65,535 tables fit into `extra`; objects beyond them are searched linearly.
For example, `#!json {"a": [1, 2.5]}` becomes five nodes. Each node's elements follow it, and `next` leads from an
