docs: correct and complete the BJData documentation

Verify the BJData chapter against the library and the Draft 2/3/4
specifications and fix what did not match:

- bjdata.md: correct the list of unused markers (N, not Z), the ND-array
  example (3x2, not 2x3), the conditions under which an object is packed
  as an ND-array (exactly three keys, row vectors, float-only elements for
  single/double, char 0..127, byte only in Draft 3), the binary table row
  and notes (which flag/draft combinations write [$B), the "$" type
  restriction (Draft 3, Z is excluded too), the H marker in the
  deserialization table, and the claim of a complete deserialization
  mapping. Document the supported drafts, that Draft 4 (SoA containers,
  extension type E) and column-major ND-arrays are rejected, ND-arrays of
  half floats, duplicate object keys, and link the Draft 3 specifications
  instead of master.
- Add an API page for basic_json::bjdata_version_t with an example, and
  link it from the nav, the API index and to_bjdata.
- Update binary_formats/index.md and binary_values.md, which still claimed
  that BJData has no binary type, and fix a wrong byte comment there.
- Document parse_error.115 and the out_of_range.408 cases for from_bjdata,
  the precise other_error.502 condition for to_bjdata, and reword the note
  on truncated unsigned integers in exceptions.md (only ND-array elements
  were truncated before 3.13.0).
