* json_view: the library's std conversions read views directly
The library's from_json() overloads (containers, maps, std::array, C
arrays, pairs, tuples, optional, valarray, forward_list, enums, binary,
paths, and scalars) accept views: their traits use the view's
basic_json type, and the few accesses that differ (get_ptr) go through
small helpers. from_json() of a view now finds them; only the probe
still looks up by ADL only. get<T>() of a view thus converts these types
without materialize(), with the same values and exceptions; from an
object, a repeated key keeps the last value, as parse() does.
The view keeps its direct paths for vectors of the types it converts
directly (faster than from_json()) and for containers of views; its
other vector and map paths are replaced by from_json(). For basic_json,
std::valarray and std::forward_list are read in one pass (40 % and 3.5 %
fewer instructions); all other conversions are unchanged.

* json_view: enable_if_not_view_t instead of '!' in the from_json() templates
astyle spaces out the template argument list when it contains a negation;
the alias spells the condition with negation<> and leaves the lines alone.

get<T>() and get_to() of a view call T's from_json() with the view itself
when that from_json() accepts views but not an unrelated probe type, and
fall back to materialize() otherwise. The from_json() functions of the
NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_*, NLOHMANN_DEFINE_DERIVED_TYPE_* and
NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM(_STRICT) macros accept basic_json values and
views; a derived type whose base reads only json reads the base part
through materialize(). The library's own from_json() overloads are not
called with views: from_json() of a view (and of the probe) only looks up
functions by ADL.
New public trait nlohmann::is_json_view<T>, and the member type
basic_json_type of basic_json_view. With duplicate keys, the members of
such a T are those the view's lookups find (the first ones).
bench_decode.cpp measures decoding into structs (4-6x faster than
materialize().get<T>() on twitter, citm_catalog, and synthetic records).
