Document and test first-wins lookups next to dump() and ==

dump() writes every member and == resolves duplicate keys as parse()
does, whereas lookups find the first member of a duplicate key.

Neither overload builds a `BasicJsonType` value for a view to do the comparison (see [Notes](#notes) below). Numbers
compare by value across their types (`#!cpp 1 == 1.0`), and an object compares by its members, with duplicate keys
resolved exactly as `parse()` resolves them -- the last value, at the position of the first occurrence of the key.
This is not what [`operator[]`](operator[].md) and the other lookups return for a duplicate key: they find the *first*
member (see [Duplicate keys](../../features/json_view.md#duplicate-keys)).
