Support zero-member types in NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_* macros (#4041)
NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE(Type) and its 11 sibling macros produced broken code for types with no members to serialize. Invoking a variadic macro so __VA_ARGS__ is empty is only standard-conforming since C++20, so a plain __VA_OPT__ fix (as tried in #5142) breaks every pre-C++20 build under -pedantic. Instead, make all 12 macros purely variadic and dispatch on argument count using a sentinel-padded extension of the existing NLOHMANN_JSON_GET_MACRO idiom, giving full C++11-C++26 support with no feature-test gate. Verified against real GCC 16 and Clang at -std=c++11/14/17/20 with -pedantic -Werror -Wvariadic-macros: zero regressions in the existing unit-udt_macro.cpp suite plus 12 new zero-member test cases.
