Clean up non-code files (#5801)

* Clean up README, contribution guide, and repository metadata

- REUSE.toml: fix the Hedley path and SPDX id (CC0-1.0), mark the docset
  icons as the public-domain JSON logo
- CITATION.cff: v3.12.0 was released on 2025-04-11
- FILES.md: list all workflows, describe the Meson option defaults
- README: ctest -LE, table of contents, typos, stale Android/MinGW advice,
  moved links, merge duplicate Thanks entries, list the analysis tools
  used in CI
- CONTRIBUTING: iterative parser, json_literals.hpp is generated, links
- .gitignore: backups and release outputs; .gitattributes: mark
  generated files
- labeler: label other build systems and .github documentation
- MODULE.bazel: add the module version

* Clean up CI, CMake, Makefile, and Bazel files

- CMakeLists.txt: avoid VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL, which CMake < 3.7 lacks
- ci.cmake: test JSON_DisableTupleReferenceConversion in ci_cmake_flags,
  remove unused variables and unreachable per-compiler targets, look up
  Clang tools consistently, forward CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to ci_module_cpp20,
  format json_literals.hpp and remove backups in ci_test_amalgamation
- BUILD.bazel: add json_literals.hpp to the single-header target
- workflows: format json_literals.hpp before copying it, drop the obsolete
  natvis --version plumbing, name natvis and macro_builder in failure
  messages, drop the duplicate amalgamation job, install Valgrind only
  where needed, republish docs on version bumps, fix stale names
- Makefile: complete .PHONY and help, check-amalgamation always restores
  the checked-in files, natvis uses its own venv, macro_builder_check
  installs astyle, clean removes the fuzzer binaries
- remove tools/amalgamate/config_json_view.json (json_view.hpp is not on
  develop yet)

* Fix inaccuracies in the documentation

- version history: json_base_class_t (3.11.3), JSON_HAS_CPP_11 (3.10.0),
  JSON_HAS_RANGES exclusions, define-type macros, ABI tags
- releases: 3.12.0 raised the minimum CMake version
- from_*: the (ptr, len) overloads are deleted, not removed, in 4.0.0
- contains/count/find: document the deleted integral overloads
- add JSON_HAS_RANGE_VIEW_CONVERSION and list the JSON_HAS_* macros in
  the macro overview
- mention BON8 and error_handler where binary formats are listed
- broken links, outdated URLs, warning count, Hunter v0.26.12
- copy_markdown_source hook: expand snippets in the Markdown copies

* Pass /EHsc to the Windows C++20 module build

ci_module_cpp20 now forwards CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to the module build. The
Windows workflow sets CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, which replaces CMake's MSVC
defaults including /EHsc, so <chrono> failed with C4530 under /WX.

- **Trivial integration**. Our whole code consists of a single header file [`json.hpp`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp). That's it. No library, no subproject, no dependencies, no complex build system. The class is written in vanilla C++11. All in all, everything should require no adjustment of your compiler flags or project settings.
- **Serious testing**. Our class is heavily [unit-tested](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/tests/src) and covers [100%](https://coveralls.io/r/nlohmann/json) of the code, including all exceptional behavior. Furthermore, we checked with [Valgrind](http://valgrind.org) and the [Clang Sanitizers](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/index.html) that there are no memory leaks. [Google OSS-Fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/tree/master/projects/json) additionally runs fuzz tests against all parsers 24/7, effectively executing billions of tests so far. To maintain high quality, the project is following the [OpenSSF Best Practices](https://www.bestpractices.dev/projects/289).

- **Speed**. There are certainly [faster JSON libraries](https://github.com/miloyip/nativejson-benchmark#parsing-time) out there. However, if your goal is to speed up your development by adding JSON support with a single header, then this library is the way to go. If you know how to use a `std::vector` or `std::map`, you are already set.
