Make comparisons with scalars noexcept only when the conversion is

The comparison operators taking a scalar (==, !=, <, <=, >, >=, and
C++20's <=>) convert the scalar to a basic_json and compare, but were
unconditionally noexcept. When that conversion throws, the program
called std::terminate instead of propagating the exception, e.g. when
comparing a json with a string literal under memory pressure
(std::bad_alloc) or with an enum value not mapped by
NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT (out_of_range.410). clang-tidy
22.1 reports the latter as bugprone-exception-escape.

Declare the 16 scalar overloads
noexcept(std::is_nothrow_constructible<basic_json, ScalarType>::value):
they stay noexcept for numbers, Booleans, nullptr, and plain enums,
and are noexcept(false) for strings and enums whose to_json may throw.
The comparisons of two basic_json values are unchanged.

Restore the strict-enum comparisons removed from unit-conversions.cpp
in the previous PR, check that comparing an unmapped strict enum now
throws, and pin the new exception specifications in unit-noexcept.cpp.
Document the exception safety of overload (2) on all seven operator
pages. Ran make amalgamate.
