Clean up README, contribution guide, and repository metadata
- REUSE.toml: fix the Hedley path and SPDX id (CC0-1.0), mark the docset icons as the public-domain JSON logo - CITATION.cff: v3.12.0 was released on 2025-04-11 - FILES.md: list all workflows, describe the Meson option defaults - README: ctest -LE, table of contents, typos, stale Android/MinGW advice, moved links, merge duplicate Thanks entries, list the analysis tools used in CI - CONTRIBUTING: iterative parser, json_literals.hpp is generated, links - .gitignore: backups and release outputs; .gitattributes: mark generated files - labeler: label other build systems and .github documentation - MODULE.bazel: add the module version Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

The following areas really need contribution and are always welcomed:

- Extending the **continuous integration** toward more exotic compilers such as Android NDK, Intel's Compiler, or the

bleeding-edge versions Clang.
|

- Improving the efficiency of the **JSON parser**. The current parser is implemented as a naive recursive descent parser

with hand-coded string handling. More sophisticated approaches like LALR parsers would be really appreciated. That

is not everything, speed and memory consumption are very important characteristics for C++ developers, so having

proper comparisons would be interesting.
