Add JSON_DELETE_DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS to delete the deprecated functions

Defining JSON_DELETE_DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS to 1 (or the CMake option
JSON_DeleteDeprecatedFunctions) declares every deprecated function as
deleted instead of deprecated, so that code that is not ready for 4.0.0
no longer compiles. A deleted function still takes part in overload
resolution, so from_*(ptr, len) cannot silently bind len to the strict
parameter of from_*(InputType&&, bool); the roadmap now plans to keep
these overloads deleted in 4.0.0 instead of removing them.

The legacy discarded-value comparison is left to its own macro.

Also update the 4.0 roadmap: add JSON_DISABLE_TUPLE_REFERENCE_CONVERSION
and JSON_DELETE_DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS to the macro table, add the
from_bjdata/from_bon8 (ptr, len) overloads to the deprecated functions,
document the macro in the migration guide, and fix the docs style check
findings (example titles, missing docset entry for JSON_STRICT_BINARY_UTF8).
