When converting objects or strings between different basic_json specializations,
the target's object_t::key_type or string_t must be directly constructible from
the source's corresponding type. If this requirement is not met, the conversion
silently falls back to the array-conversion path, producing incorrect results.
This documents the limitation and provides references to issue #3425, which tracks
this behavior. The comment in unit-alt-string.cpp is clarified to reference the
known limitation with a link to the issue, and suggests the parse() workaround.
Fixes#3425 (documentation; full fix deferred pending type-trait redesign)

* fix: treat single-element brace-init as copy/move
When passing a json value using brace initialization with a single element
(e.g., `json j{someObj}` or `foo({someJson})`), C++ always prefers the
initializer_list constructor over the copy/move constructor. This caused
the value to be unexpectedly wrapped in a single-element array.
This bug was previously compiler-dependent (GCC wrapped, Clang did not),
but Clang 20 started matching GCC behavior, making it a universal issue.
Fix: In the initializer_list constructor, when type deduction is enabled
and the list has exactly one element, copy/move it directly instead of
creating a single-element array.
Before:
json obj = {{"key", 1}};
json j{obj}; // -> [{"key":1}] (wrong: array)
foo({obj}); // -> [{"key":1}] (wrong: array)
After:
json j{obj}; // -> {"key":1} (correct: copy)
foo({obj}); // -> {"key":1} (correct: copy)
To explicitly create a single-element array, use json::array({value}).

* Fix: add JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS opt-in macro for issue #5074
Single-element brace initialization wrapping in an array cannot be fixed without breaking existing code. Added JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS as an opt-in macro (default 0) so users can enable copy/move semantics for single-element brace init without affecting anyone relying on the current behavior.
