Documentation review (#5257)
* 📝 Fix documentation gaps for 3.13.0 release (todos 138-142) - Todo 138: Add "Known issues" section to modules.md with compiler-specific troubleshooting (GCC redefinition, MSVC symbol export). Add pointer note to quality_assurance.md. - Todo 139: Document CBOR/MessagePack half-precision float encoding for NaN/Infinity (0xF9/0xCA with exact byte sequences). Explain pre-3.13.0 double-precision bug mechanism without issue citations. - Todo 140: Document CBOR negative-integer-overflow rejection (parse_error.112) for magnitudes exceeding int64_t range (already implemented in rev 1). - Todo 141: Update version history in value.md and operator[].md with behavior-change details, removing issue citations per citation policy (prose is self-contained). - Todo 142: Global sed replace of 3.12.x → 3.13.0 placeholder across all 20 documentation files. Revision 2 incorporates feedback to reduce changelog-like issue citations. Only citations that add unique troubleshooting value are retained (#5103 for GCC workaround, #3970 for MSVC symbol export). "Known issues" section follows PR #5252's visual pattern (info admonition with bold-bullet format). Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * 📝 Document integer type selection, type_name() invalid value, and std::optional get() fix - number_handling.md: clarify that positive/negative integers select unsigned/signed storage based on the leading minus sign (todo 143). - type_name.md: document the new "invalid" return value for corrupted JSON values (todo 145). - get.md: note that get<std::optional<T>>() was unreachable in every configuration prior to 3.13.0 due to an internal macro-guard bug, unrelated to JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS's actual effect (todo 144).

Additionally, the following `nlohmann::detail` symbols are exported, solely to work around an MSVC compilation issue

([#3970](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/3970)). They are implementation details, not part of the public API,

## Known issues
|
||||
|
||||
C++20 modules support is exercised in CI against current GCC and Clang on Ubuntu, and the default MSVC toolset on Windows Server 2022 — there is no documented minimum compiler version, unlike feature-test-macro-gated features such as [`JSON_HAS_RANGES`](../api/macros/json_has_ranges.md).

!!! info "Known compiler issues"
|
||||
|
||||
- **GCC** may emit "redefinition" errors when `#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>` appears in a module preamble together with other imports. This is an upstream GCC bug, not yet resolved as of GCC 16. Workarounds: include `nlohmann/json.hpp` before other `#include`s, use `import nlohmann.json;` instead, or upgrade GCC. ([issue #5103](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/5103))
|
||||
- **MSVC** could fail with `C2039: 'json_sax_dom_callback_parser' is not a member of ... detail`; fixed by exporting the required internal symbols from `json.cppm` (see [Exported symbols](#exported-symbols) above). ([issue #3970](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/3970))
