Make parsing from std::istream and FILE* fast (#5828)
* Make parsing from std::istream and FILE* fast
Squashed onto develop cd6b428ef (CI fixes from #5860). Original commits:
- Let the lexer's bulk fast paths run on a window of the input
- Scan the get area of an input stream in bulk
- Lock a FILE once per parse instead of once per character
- Add benchmarks for parsing from a FILE* and for many values from a stream
- Avoid implicit unsigned char to char conversion in stream tests
- Make file_input_adapter::unlock() safe to call on a moved-from adapter

* Add ABI tags for JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN and JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO
Both macros select between two definitions of an input adapter, so
translation units compiled with different settings violated the ODR when
linked together. Like the other ABI-affecting macros, they now append a
tag to the inline namespace: _dsbs and _dufio. Their defaults move to
abi_macros.hpp so that json_fwd.hpp sees them, and the natvis file is
regenerated for the new namespaces.

* Skip the exception-only checks of the stream input tests without exceptions

## Input sources and performance
|
||||
|
||||
All inputs produce the same values and the same exceptions, but they are read in different ways, which makes some of
|
||||
them faster than others:
|
||||
|
||||
| input | how it is read |
|
||||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| strings, string views, string literals, contiguous containers, pointer or iterator ranges over contiguous memory | the whole input is scanned in bulk: runs of string characters, numbers, and indentation are recognized several bytes at a time |
|
||||
| `#!cpp std::istream` (`#!cpp std::ifstream`, `#!cpp std::istringstream`, ...) | the characters the stream buffer holds are scanned in bulk like a string; the stream buffer is asked for more when they are used up |
|
||||
| `#!cpp FILE*` | one character at a time, with the file locked once for the whole parse |
|
||||
| other iterator ranges (e.g., `#!cpp std::list<char>`, `#!cpp std::istreambuf_iterator<char>`), wide strings | one character at a time |
|
||||
|
||||
Parsing a file from a `#!cpp std::ifstream` is therefore only about 10 to 20 % slower than reading the whole file into a
|
||||
`#!cpp std::string` first and parsing that, and it needs no memory for a copy of the file. The stream is never read
|
||||
ahead: after parsing, it is positioned exactly as if every character had been read one at a time, so
|
||||
[`operator>>`](../../api/operator_gtgt.md) can still read several values from one stream (see also
|
||||
[JSON Lines](json_lines.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
Two macros switch these optimizations off without changing any result:
|
||||
[`JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN`](../../api/macros/json_disable_stream_bulk_scan.md) for stream buffers that do not
|
||||
follow the usual `std::streambuf` contract, and
|
||||
[`JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO`](../../api/macros/json_disable_unlocked_file_io.md) for programs in which another
|
||||
thread must use the same `#!cpp FILE` object while it is parsed.
|
||||

||||
## SAX vs. DOM parsing
