Document editable json_documents
- API pages for set and push_back of basic_json_document and for the editable aliases; the class overviews name the Editable parameter - type_error.319 on the exceptions page - the feature page explains editing, and the examples show when it helps: a configuration file changed without reformatting it Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>
