Add deprecated from_bon8/from_bjdata(ptr, len) overloads

from_bon8(ptr, len) and from_bjdata(ptr, len) had no overload for a
pointer and a length, unlike from_cbor/from_msgpack/from_ubjson/
from_bson. The call instead bound to from_*(InputType&&, bool strict),
which read ptr as a NUL-terminated C string via strlen and silently
converted len to the strict flag. Data containing a 0x00 byte was cut
off there; data without one was read past the end of the buffer.

Add a deprecated (ptr, len, strict, allow_exceptions) overload for
each function that forwards to (ptr, ptr + len, ...), matching the
existing deprecated overloads of the other four binary readers. Since
neither function ever had this overload, the deprecation is declared
as of version 3.13.0, the next unreleased version, rather than the
version each function was originally added in.

Fixes #5648.
