Copy a pair-shaped array value under JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS
With JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS enabled, single-element brace
initialization from a JSON value decided whether to copy the value or
build an object by inspecting the value's runtime shape: a two-element
array whose first element is a string, such as ["key", 42], was turned
into an object instead of being copied. This made the behavior depend
on the element's content, and it did not distinguish an existing value
of this shape from a nested braced pair written in the source, such as
the inner {"key", "value"} of {{"key", "value"}}.
json_ref now records whether it was constructed from a braced list
(true only for the std::initializer_list<json_ref> constructor used
for nested braced lists) or from a value. The initializer-list
constructor uses this to copy or move a single non-braced-list element
before deciding whether the list describes an object, so a JSON value
is always copied regardless of its shape, while a braced pair written
in the source still creates an object.
Fixes #5662.

Code that relies on these producing arrays must use `json::array()` instead (see below). Lists with more than one

element, and a single `[string, value]` pair such as `{{"key", "value"}}`, which still creates an object, are not
|

affected. The library's own conversions are not affected either: for example, `std::tuple<int>{5}` still becomes

`[5]`.

element, and a single `[string, value]` pair *written as a braced list*, such as `{{"key", "value"}}`, which still

creates an object, are not affected. This exception is based on how the pair is written, not on the shape of its
|
||||
value: an existing JSON value that happens to be a two-element array with a string as its first element, such as
|
||||
`json arr = {"key", 42};`, is still copied by `json j{arr};` rather than turned into an object. The library's own

conversions are not affected either: for example, `std::tuple<int>{5}` still becomes `[5]`.
