Derive generate_natvis.py's ABI tag list and version from abi_macros.hpp

generate_natvis.py hard-coded abi_tags = ['_diag', '_ldvcmp', '_dp',
'_bics', '_psp', '_snul'] and required --version on the command line.
The source of truth is include/nlohmann/detail/abi_macros.hpp: the
NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAG_* defines, the argument order of
NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAGS_CONCAT, and NLOHMANN_JSON_VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR/
PATCH. Nothing checked that the copies stayed in sync, and they have
drifted apart before: _dp was added in #4517 but missed here until
#5544, and 3.11.3 shipped json_abi_v3_11_2 namespaces (#4340).

Parse the tag list (in NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAGS_CONCAT order) and the
version from abi_macros.hpp instead of hard-coding them. Make
--version optional (falling back to the parsed version) and default
the output directory to the repository root the script lives in.

Add a "natvis" Makefile target that runs the script, and extend
check-amalgamation to regenerate nlohmann_json.natvis and fail on a
diff, the same way it already does for the amalgamated headers and
BUILD.bazel. Wire the same regeneration into check_amalgamation.yml,
using the tool copy checked out from develop (as the workflow already
does for amalgamate.py) and installing jinja2 from
tools/generate_natvis/requirements.txt. Update the tool's README to
say it must be re-run after adding an ABI tag or bumping the version.

Verified: a run against develop produces no diff (with either the
default or an explicit --version 3.12.0); adding a dummy
NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAG_* without a matching #define makes the script
fail loudly instead of silently omitting the tag; xmllint --noout
passes on the regenerated file; and running the script from a
directory other than the one being checked (simulating the workflow's
separate tool checkout) against this repository root also produces no
diff.

Overlaps #5600, which added _ekmo to the same hand-written abi_tags
line and regenerated the file.

#5717 item 3
