Move elements when converting rvalue containers to JSON (#5837)

* Move elements when converting rvalue containers to JSON

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

* Simplify the rvalue to_json traits

Use negation<disjunction<...>> instead of a conjunction of negations and
keep the template argument lists compact (astyle only keeps the spaced
'< ... >' form when it is written that way).

## Unreleased
- Converting an rvalue container to JSON (`json j = std::move(vec);`, `json j = std::map<std::string, std::string>{...};`)
now **moves** the elements instead of copying them (e.g., `std::vector<std::string>` with 100,000 strings: 4.7 ms to
2.3 ms). Two consequences: the source container is left in a valid but unspecified (moved-from) state, and if an
exception is thrown during the conversion, the source may be partially moved-from, so the strong exception guarantee
no longer holds for the source of an rvalue conversion (the JSON value itself is unaffected). Lvalues and `const`
objects are still copied. See [`basic_json`](../api/basic_json/basic_json.md).
## v3.12.0 (2025-04-11)
Fixes bugs found in 3.11.3 and adds several features. All changes are backward-compatible.
