Fix element path for map/unordered_map JSON_DIAGNOSTICS errors (#5681)

When converting a JSON array to std::map or std::unordered_map with a
non-string key, each element must itself be a [key, value] array. If an
element is not an array, from_json() threw type_error 302 with the outer
array's value (&j) as the exception context, so with JSON_DIAGNOSTICS
enabled the message pointed at the whole array instead of the offending
element (e.g. "(/outer/m)" instead of "(/outer/m/2)"), even though the
message text already described the element's type.

Both from_json() overloads now pass the element (&p) as the context, so
the reported JSON Pointer matches the type named in the message, the
same way std::vector<std::vector<T>> and similar conversions already do.

Fixes #5668.
