Move templated_json_throw into nlohmann::detail

templated_json_throw() was defined in macro_scope.hpp, which is included
outside NLOHMANN_JSON_NAMESPACE_BEGIN, so the helper leaked into the
global namespace as ::templated_json_throw with no ABI tag. Unqualified
lookup in NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT could then bind to a
same-named function declared in the user's own namespace instead, which
fails to compile with Clang ("does not name a template").

Move the helper next to the exception classes in exceptions.hpp, inside
nlohmann::detail, and call it qualified as
::nlohmann::detail::templated_json_throw<...>(...) from both macro
expansion sites. Rewrite the doc comment to give the real reason for the
helper (JSON_THROW may expand to code that discards its argument, e.g.
when exceptions are disabled) and fix the "supress" typo.

templated_json_throw was never released (added by #5151 after v3.12.0),
so it can be moved freely.

Adds a regression test that expands NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT
inside a namespace declaring its own templated_json_throw.

Public API: no change (::templated_json_throw was an unreleased,
unintentional global-namespace leak with no callers relying on its
location).

Overlaps #5698, which rewrites the same two macro call lines; the
overlapping hunks are small and should be trivial to reconcile on
rebase.

@brief helper function to call JSON_THROW from a template
@note JSON_THROW is a macro that, depending on the JSON_THROW_USER /
JSON_TRY_USER / JSON_NOEXCEPTION configuration, may expand to code
that does not reference its argument (e.g. `std::abort()`), which
would trigger a compilation error if the argument's type depends on
a template parameter that is otherwise unused. Wrapping the call in
a templated function avoids this and gives the compiler a single
place to see the (possibly unused) parameter.
