json_view: keep GCC's inlining of view walks with the diagnostics macros

Measured on GCC 13 (x86-64) with JSON_DIAGNOSTICS or JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS,
a recursive walk over a view took 2.7 to 2.9 times the instructions: GCC no
longer inlined the walk into itself. The cause was not the walk's code but
that the path and range code of errors.hpp was instantiated in every
translation unit (the non-template throw helpers referenced it), which
changed GCC's early inlining of unrelated view functions. diagnostics() and
the throw helpers that take an error_site are now templates, so that code is
instantiated only where an exception can be thrown; the walks have the
instruction counts of develop again.

Iterators no longer keep their container: with it, one walk was still 1.1 %
slower. key() of an iterator over an array or a primitive value
(invalid_iterator.207) is therefore thrown without a context, as documented.
