Flush serializer buffer in dump_escaped unit test

test-convenience failed (macOS finished first; the failure is
platform-independent) because check_escaped() calls the internal
serializer::dump_escaped() directly and then reads the output stream.
Since dump_escaped() now writes into the serializer's internal write
buffer, the bytes were still buffered and the stream was empty.

Expose flush() under JSON_PRIVATE_UNLESS_TESTED (same visibility as
dump_escaped) and flush in check_escaped() before inspecting the output.
Per-string flushing inside dump_escaped() was rejected on purpose: it
would defeat the buffering that makes object/array-heavy dumps faster.
Library behavior is unchanged (flush()'s body is identical; only its
access label moved).

@brief flush the write buffer to the output adapter
Writing zero characters is a well-defined no-op for every output adapter, so
the buffered length is passed through unconditionally (no empty-guard branch
to leave uncovered).
@note dump_escaped() and dump_integer()/dump_float() write into the internal
write buffer; callers that invoke them directly (rather than through the
public dump()) must call flush() before inspecting the output.
