Address the review of the json_view object index and SIMD scan

From gregmarr's review of #5628:

- Docs and comments say that the hash index is one of the object's keys.
- object_index.hpp: conditional_static_cast for the hash, "slot" for the
  table position, no flag for a degenerate table, and a static_assert
  that the smallest indexed object is larger than the probe window.
- scan.hpp unrolls with NLOHMANN_VIEW_REPEAT_FIRST_8/SECOND_8.
