Improve documentation: byte layouts, release pages, See also, dark-mode images (#5906)

- Make the iterator range illustrations legible in dark mode (prefers-color-scheme
  rules inside the SVGs).
- Add a "Byte layout" section with a color-coded byte table to each binary format
  page (BJData, BON8, BSON, CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON), and highlight the smallest
  size per file in the comparison table.
- Add "See also" sections to the overview pages that lacked one.
- Split the release notes into one page per release, grouped by minor version on
  the overview page, with an "API changes" section per release generated from the
  API pages' version histories (hooks/api_changes.py).
- Fact-check the release notes and version histories against the release tags and
  correct wrong or misleading entries (e.g., json_serializer 2.1.0, merge_patch
  3.1.0, items, count, operator[], to_bjdata, std::string_view key support).

7. Added in version 1.0.0. Fixed in version 3.13.0 to also check the iterator range for binary values; before, a range
that did not cover the whole value (such as `(end(), end())`) was accepted and the whole binary value was copied,
unlike the other primitive types.
