Take diff()'s fast path unless the object type reorders members
For every object type except an insertion-ordered one like ordered_map, diff() no longer produced a member-by-member patch when target had a key that sorts before a key the two objects share: it fell through to the slow path, which removes every member of source and re-adds every member of target, instead of just adding the new key. #5465 added an order check to require the fast path to also reproduce target's member order, needed because ordered_map's patch()-driven "add" appends a new member at the end. The check compared the common keys' order between source and target and also required that every added key come after every common key in target's order ("new_keys_form_suffix"). The comment above it argued this check is always true for std::map, and that reasoning is correct for the order of the common keys themselves, but not for new_keys_form_suffix: a std::map iterates in sorted key order, so a new key that sorts before an existing common key is enumerated between common keys, making new_keys_form_suffix false even though std::map's own key order does not need reordering at all - it places every member itself, regardless of insertion history, so a member-by-member diff already reproduces target's iteration order. Only require the order check for an object type that keeps insertion order, using the same detail::is_ordered_map trait the library already uses to recognize such an object type in set_parent(). Every other object type - std::map in key order, a hash map in an order its operator== ignores - always takes the fast path. Added a regression test to unit-json_patch.cpp: the issue's example now yields a single "add" op for json, while ordered_json still takes the slow path to reproduce target's member order. Fixes #5639. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>
