* Speed up the lexer: own float parser, string scan, and \u table
Give the library its own correctly rounded float converter for
binary32 and binary64 (IEEE 754), and speed up the lexer's string
and escape scanning.
The converter splits a number token into sign, significand, and
decimal exponent, then tries Clinger's fast path, then a templated
Eisel-Lemire step, and falls back to an exact big-integer digit
comparison for tokens with more than 19 significant digits whose two
candidate values round differently. This replaces std::from_chars
and strtod/strtof for both formats, so parsed values no longer
depend on the C/C++ library or the current locale. The strtold
fallback kept for other long double formats (x87, binary128) now
also copies a multi-byte decimal point correctly, fixing #5660.
eisel_lemire() and decimal_to_float() are always inlined so callers
keep the whole conversion in their hot loop.
The string-scanning kernels in string_scan.hpp find a stop byte with
the trailing-zero count of the SWAR mask instead of a byte loop, and
scalar_string_bulk_run() validates a run of multi-byte UTF-8
sequences one after another instead of re-searching after each one.
get_codepoint() decodes a contiguous \uXXXX escape with one table
lookup per byte instead of four range-checked get() calls; the
streaming path and all error positions are unchanged.
Adds 508 generated hard float-parsing cases with expected binary32
and binary64 bits, and kernel-comparison tests for the string scans
and the escape table against byte-by-byte references.

* Fix CI warnings in own float parser
- pow5_table.hpp: pow5_128_largest_power was unused in this branch's
own code (GCC -Werror=unused-const-variable); tie it to the table
size with a static_assert instead of removing it, since a later
branch in the stack (json-view/23-zmij) uses it.
- number_parse.hpp: rename the local variable `copy` to `buffer` to
satisfy cpplint's build/include_what_you_use check.
- unit-class_lexer.cpp: extend the NOLINT list on the seeded mt19937
with bugprone-random-generator-seed, and parenthesize
`8 * sizeof(Bits) - 1` for clang-tidy.

* Convert floats with Eisel-Lemire when std::from_chars is unavailable
Float tokens that Clinger's fast path cannot convert (e.g. the 17-digit
coordinates of canada.json) went to strtod unless std::from_chars was
available. It is not used in C++11/14, and not with libc++, which does not
define __cpp_lib_to_chars. The Eisel-Lemire algorithm (after fast_float's
compute_float) now converts them with integer arithmetic, correctly rounded
for any token with at most 19 significant digits. Longer tokens are
truncated; the result is used if w and w + 1 round alike, else strtod
decides as before. Overflow still yields infinity (out_of_range.406).
The table of powers of five (fast_float's) lives in pow5_table.hpp; a unit
test recomputes every entry with big-integer arithmetic. Further tests:
known values generated with Python (whose float() is correctly rounded),
200,000 round trips through to_chars, and the 128-bit multiplication and
leading-zero count against big-integer references (both with and without a
128-bit type). Checked against strtod on 6.5 million tokens, among them
60,000 exact halfway cases: no difference.
json::parse on canada.json: -8.6% (C++11), -7.6% (C++17, Apple clang);
other files unchanged. Compile time of a TU including json.hpp: +0.7%.

* Fix CI: unused parse result and find() == npos in the Eisel-Lemire tests
GCC (-Werror=unused-result) rejected CHECK_THROWS_WITH_AS(json::parse(...))
because parse() is [[nodiscard]]; assign the result to a dummy json as the
other tests do. clang-tidy flagged longer.find('.') == npos with
abseil-string-find-str-contains; store the position in a variable first.
