Add dump() to json_view

basic_json_view::dump(indent, indent_char, ensure_ascii, number_format)
writes the text of a value as ordered_json::parse(text).dump() writes it
for the same arguments: members in document order (all of them, should a
key occur more than once), strings escaped by the same rules and with the
library's scanning kernels, floats with the library's conversion, and
integers copied from the source, where they are canonical except "-0".
With number_format::source, numbers are copied as they appear in the
source ("1.50", "1E2", "-0", all digits of long integers). operator<<
takes the indentation from the stream width, as for basic_json.

The writer (detail/view/serializer.hpp) writes through a raw pointer into
a string sized from the source extent of the value, and walks the index
iteratively, so the nesting depth is limited by memory only.

Tests compare the output of 2,000 generated documents with
ordered_json::dump() for several indentations and ensure_ascii, strings
with every kind of escape, numbers (5,000 random doubles, float as
number_float_t), duplicate keys, 100,000 levels of nesting, and streams.
ViewDump joins the benchmarks.
