Niels Lohmann 74aefc3486 Move custom object key tests out of unit-cbor.cpp and unit-msgpack.cpp (#5798)
The custom object key tests from #5328 instantiate a second basic_json
specialization in unit-cbor.cpp and unit-msgpack.cpp. This pushed
unit-msgpack.cpp.obj past 65535 sections in the clang (MinGW) jobs of
the Windows workflow, and linking test-msgpack_cpp11 fails with
"relocation truncated to fit: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32 against `.rdata'".

The GNU linker keeps the section an associative COMDAT section belongs
to in 16 bits (x_associated in include/coff/internal.h), although big
object files store 32 bits. In larger objects it therefore ties the
jump tables of inline functions to the wrong function and discards them
together with that function's duplicate.

Move the four tests unchanged into unit-custom-object-key-type.cpp and
document the limit in windows.yml.

Niels Lohmann f4e0b06685 Assign the first member when set() meets duplicate keys again
Lookups find the first member of a repeated key again, so set(object, key,
value) assigns that member (keeping the key where it is) and drops the
others, as documented before, and a view taken from object[key] shows the
new value. This undoes the code and documentation changes of 5cbb8e6d6.
Lookups in edited objects (navigation of editable documents) stop at the
first match, like those of parsed objects.

The tests that commit added expect the first member from lookups now. In the
seeded differential test, the documents with repeated keys repeat them after
the real members; the reference holds the first members, which the edits
address and the lookups are compared with, while materialize() is compared
with what parse() makes of the document's dump.

Niels Lohmann 13d2b3e224 Return the first member of duplicate keys from lookups again
Looking up the last member of a duplicate key cannot stop at a match, so
every lookup scanned the whole object (1.6 to 3.4 times slower for small
objects). operator[](key), at, find, value, contains, count, and JSON
pointer resolution return the first member again, as yyjson and simdjson
do; materialize() and get<map>() keep the last value, as parse().

The documentation says so in the feature page and on each lookup page,
and explains how to get the value parse() would give. The integer index
templates and the discarded chaining of operator[] stay.

Niels Lohmann 2913e96433 Unflatten in time and memory linear in the pointer depth (#5793)
* Unflatten in time and memory linear in the pointer depth

#5443 made unflatten() decide between arrays and objects independently
of the iteration order by collecting the pointer prefixes that have a
reference token 0 below them in a std::set<std::vector<string_t>>.
Every such prefix was stored as a copy of all its reference tokens, and
get_and_create() compared whole prefix vectors at every step, so
unflattening a pointer of depth d took time and memory quadratic in d:
a 10,000-level array pointer took 18 s and 1.3 GB, a 100,000-level one
did not finish.

The prefixes are now numbered nodes of a tree, so each is stored once
and get_and_create() follows the tree token by token. The result is
unchanged, including its independence of the iteration order.

Niels Lohmann 5cbb8e6d6c Assign the member that lookups find when set() meets duplicate keys
An editable document reads the last member of a repeated key (as the
read-only document does), but set(object, key, value) assigned the first
one: a view taken from object[key] before the call did not show the new
value. It now assigns the last member's value, keeps the key at the
position of its first occurrence (where materialize() puts it), and drops
the other members.

The seeded differential test now also edits documents whose objects
repeat keys and compares every lookup (operator[], at, find, value,
contains, count, and JSON pointers) with the parsed basic_json value.
A targeted test covers duplicates before and after edits that move the
object, in large objects with an index, in moved arrays, and in values
copied from other documents.

Niels Lohmann 44e8597701 Flatten deeply nested values without recursing per nesting level (#5792)
* Flatten deeply nested values without recursing per nesting level

json_pointer::flatten() called itself once per nesting level, so
flatten() on a value nested deeply enough exhausted the call stack.
#5547 and #5548 fixed merge_patch() and diff() from #5393, but flatten()
was left out.

flatten() now walks the value with an explicit stack and keeps the path
in one buffer that grows and shrinks with it. It has a single code path
and no depth limit: the old version built a new path string per child,
so the iterative one is no slower on shallow values and much faster on
deep ones. The output, including the order of an ordered_json result,
is unchanged.

Niels Lohmann 374dfe4f0f Keep converted object keys alive while writing UBJSON and BJData (#5791)
* Keep converted object keys alive while writing UBJSON and BJData

Since #5746, write_ubjson and write_ubjson_iterative pass each object key
to sanitize_utf8_for_write and keep the returned reference. When
object_t::key_type is not string_t but converts to it, the argument is a
temporary that is destroyed at the end of the statement, and the
function returns a reference to it in every case but a sanitized copy,
so the key bytes are read from a dead object (AddressSanitizer:
stack-use-after-scope). Default json and ordered_json are unaffected.

Bind the key to a named object_key_string_t first: a reference when
key_type is string_t, so no copy is added there, and a converted copy
otherwise. A deleted overload of sanitize_utf8_for_write for anything
other than string_t turns a recurrence into a compile error.

Niels Lohmann 21c8fb4318 Replace a container by a scalar in constant time once it is linked
Replacing an array or object that spans several nodes by a scalar looks
up its parent from the root (find_parent), which is linear in the size
of the document: setting every element of a 20,000 element array took
more than half a second. The parent only has to switch to links once;
afterward the extent of the replaced value no longer matters. Nodes that
an entry of a moved sequence links to are now marked (node_flags::linked),
and assign() skips the lookup for them.
