json_view: no save() and load() on big-endian targets (#5920)

The image format is little-endian only. Instead of throwing
type_error.320 at runtime, save_image(), load_image() and the members
save() and load() do not exist on a big-endian target, so a call fails to
compile, like set() on a read-only document. type_error.320 remains for
saving a discarded document.

## Exceptions
On a big-endian target, throws [`type_error.320`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error320) -- the same
exception [`save()`](save.md#exceptions) throws there, since the image format is little-endian only.
Otherwise throws [`parse_error.116`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error116) if `image` is not one

## Notes
**Little-endian targets only.** On a big-endian target, `load()` does not exist, just like
[`save()`](save.md#notes): the image format is little-endian, so a call fails to compile.
