Speed up at(size_type) and array-to-container conversion

Move the out_of_range message construction of at(size_type) and at(key)
into out-of-line, never-inlined helpers so the accessors inline like
operator[]. Convert JSON arrays into standard containers by looping over
the stored array_t and calling push_back (falling back to insert(end())
for containers without push_back, such as std::set) instead of
std::transform with std::inserter. Add benchmarks.
