json_view: the library's std conversions read views directly

The library's from_json() overloads (containers, maps, std::array, C
arrays, pairs, tuples, optional, valarray, forward_list, enums, binary,
paths, and scalars) accept views: their traits use the view's
basic_json type, and the few accesses that differ (get_ptr) go through
small helpers. from_json() of a view now finds them; only the probe
still looks up by ADL only. get<T>() of a view thus converts these types
without materialize(), with the same values and exceptions; from an
object, a repeated key keeps the last value, as parse() does.

The view keeps its direct paths for vectors of the types it converts
directly (faster than from_json()) and for containers of views; its
other vector and map paths are replaced by from_json(). For basic_json,
std::valarray and std::forward_list are read in one pass (40 % and 3.5 %
fewer instructions); all other conversions are unchanged.
