Throw when JSON Patch remove's target path resolves through a primitive or null parent (#5496)
RFC 6902 (section 4.2) requires the target location of a "remove" operation to exist. operation_remove handled parent.is_object() and parent.is_array(), but had no final else branch: when the resolved parent was a primitive value or null, neither branch matched and the operation silently did nothing instead of failing. Add the missing else branch, throwing out_of_range.413 with wording that matches the existing out_of_range.411 thrown by the analogous "add" case (operation_add) for the same kind of invalid parent. Fixes #5396. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

A JSON Patch `remove` operation cannot be applied because the target location's parent is neither an object nor an array. Per [RFC 6902](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6902), a `remove` target must reference a member of an existing object or an element of an existing array; a primitive value (string, number, boolean, etc.) or `null` has no members or elements to remove.
