Only reserve array capacity if the array type supports it

PR #5476 added an unconditional `reserve()` call to the `start_array()`
implementations of both `json_sax_dom_parser` and
`json_sax_dom_callback_parser`. `ArrayType` is a template parameter of
`basic_json`, however, and is not required to have a `reserve()` member
function: instantiating either parser for, e.g., `basic_json<std::map,
std::deque>` fails to compile, which breaks every use of `parse()` and
the binary readers for such a type.

Move the capped reservation into a `reserve_array()` helper that selects
a no-op overload through `priority_tag` when `ArrayType` has no
`reserve()`, mirroring `from_json_object_reserve()`. `std::vector` array
types keep reserving as before, and the 16384-element cap is unchanged.

@brief reserve capacity for @a len elements in array @a arr
Reserving upfront avoids repeated reallocations while the elements are added,
but the reservation is capped so a bogus/hostile length (which is not bounded
by max_size(), unlike e.g. std::vector) cannot trigger an oversized allocation
for a small or truncated input.
The overload below is selected for array types without reserve() (e.g.,
std::deque), which are then left untouched.
