Stop calling std::localeconv() on every dump()

The serializer constructor snapshotted std::localeconv() into a
locale_chars member on every dump(), even though the only reader is
dump_float(number_float_t, std::false_type)'s snprintf path, taken
only for a number_float_t that is neither IEEE single nor double.
localeconv() is not required to be thread-safe with setlocale(), so
every dump() paid for and raced on a lookup that almost never mattered.

Remove locale_chars and the locale member. Right before the
thousands-separator/decimal-point fixups in the snprintf path, read
std::localeconv() into local thousands_sep/decimal_point variables
(null-checked, first byte only, as before) - the same way
lexer::get_decimal_point() already does since #5597. Output is
unchanged unless the locale changes during a single dump(); in that
case the fixups now match what snprintf just produced, instead of a
value snapshotted before the call.

Overlaps draft PR #5608, which touches the same constructor and
dump_float() lines to move this code into a new
dump_float_snprintf(); this lands the lookup change now as #5709 asks,
and #5608 can do the lookup inside dump_float_snprintf() when it
rebases.

Verification: the full json_test_data corpus (742 files, dump(),
dump(4) and dump(-1,' ',true)) is byte-identical to before the change
under the C locale. Added a test pinning the new per-conversion
lookup: it switches LC_NUMERIC mid-dump() (via a streambuf that
switches on its first write, after the serializer's write buffer has
been flushed once but before a later float is converted) and checks
the decimal point is still normalized using the locale active at
conversion time. On a platform where long double is IEEE-754 double
(e.g. 64-bit Arm), dump_float() takes the locale-independent
to_chars() path and the test is a no-op there; it is meaningful on a
platform where long double is extended precision (most x86 targets).

Part of #5709 item 3
