Copy values before inserting an initializer list into an array

insert(pos, {...}) inserted wrong values when the initializer list
contained const references to elements of the array being inserted
into. json_ref stores only a pointer for a const lvalue, so the
initializer_list_t range passed straight to the array's range insert
aliased the array's own storage; std::vector::insert(pos, first, last)
may move or shift elements before copying from that range, so the
source elements were already stale by the time they were read
(different wrong results on libc++ and libstdc++).

Copy the referenced values into a temporary array_t first, then move
that temporary into place, so the source range never aliases the
array being modified.

Fixes #5656.
