Fix Clang deprecation warning for json_pointer operator== with ordered_json

is_comparable used a flat && chain to both exclude json_pointer/string
comparisons (added for #4621) and check whether Compare(A, B) is well-formed.
Naming std::is_constructible<decltype(...)> as a later operand of that chain
still causes the decltype to be substituted regardless of the first
operand's value, since the operands aren't lazily deferred like
std::conjunction would defer them. That instantiates the transparent
std::equal_to<>::operator() used by ordered_json, whose noexcept-specifier
evaluates the deprecated json_pointer/string operator==, which Clang (unlike
GCC in this case) warns about even though the result is discarded.

Split is_comparable so the Compare(A, B) checks live in a separate helper
that is only referenced from the specialization selected when
is_json_pointer_of is false, so the decltype is never written when A/B are
a json_pointer/string pair, regardless of compiler.
