Derive the lexer position lazily for seekable input (#5809)

* Derive the lexer position lazily for seekable input

The lexer counted the read position on every character: two increments
and a newline check per get(), all on members kept in memory. For
seekable input (pointers, strings, other random-access byte ranges) the
position can be derived instead: chars_read_total is the adapter's read
count (including reads at EOF) minus a pending unget, and line and
column are recomputed from the consumed input only when get_position()
is called, i.e. on parse errors. JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS uses the new
O(1) get_chars_read_total(). Stream, file, wide-string and user-defined
adapters keep the eager counters.

Parsing pretty-printed input gets 8-12% faster and accept() 12-27%
(canada, citm_catalog, twitter; clang 21 arm64 and GCC 13 x86-64).
Error messages, byte offsets, SAX positions and diagnostic positions are
unchanged (differential comparison against develop on 548k inputs).

* Move the std::vector<std::byte> binary type tests out of unit-regression3

The #4804/#4209 tests instantiated a second basic_json specialization
(with_binary_t<std::vector<std::byte>>), including its parser and CBOR
reader. With clang 18, the C++20 object of unit-regression3.cpp had
32656 COFF sections on develop; the lazy position helpers pushed it to
32975, past what the MinGW linker of the Windows clang jobs handles
("relocation truncated to fit: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32 against .rdata").
unit-custom-binary-type.cpp already instantiates the same type, so the
tests move there; unit-regression3.cpp drops to 27616 sections.

* Report the parse errors of the position test via SAX

The test caught json::parse_error, so it aborted in the
ci_test_noexceptions build, where JSON_NOEXCEPTION turns the throw into
std::abort(). sax_parse() hands the error position and the exception
object to parse_error() without throwing, so the test now records them
there and runs in every configuration.
