Reject integer lengths in json_document::parse

parse(ptr, len) compiled: len converted to allow_exceptions, and ptr was
read as a C string, past the end of a buffer without a terminating NUL.
Delete the overloads of parse, parse_copy, accept, and read that take an
integer other than bool where the flags are expected.
