The container overload of json::parse(c) / accept(c) / sax_parse(c, ...)
silently dropped from overload resolution for user types whose ADL
begin(T&) / end(T&) accepted only non-const lvalue references
(a legitimate pattern matching std::begin semantics). This was because
the detection code used std::declval<ContainerType>() which synthesized
an rvalue, and the rvalue failed to bind to lvalue-only ADL functions.
Fix by making both the outer input_adapter(ContainerType&&) and the
factory's create(ContainerType&&) forwarding references, preserving the
caller's value category and constness via reference collapsing. This
ensures detection (std::declval) and actual use (std::forward) always
match without needing decay/remove_reference.
- Rewrite input_adapters.hpp container overload with forwarding refs
- Add regression tests for lvalue-only non-const ADL begin/end
- Add regression test for rvalue containers (no breakage)
- Update API docs (parse, accept, sax_parse, from_*) to clarify
that begin/end must match std::begin/std::end semantics
- Add version history notes for 3.13.0
- Regenerate amalgamation
Second-order effect: binary_reader.hpp's internal call to
input_adapter(number_vector) now deduces iterator vs const_iterator
based on the lvalue; functionally harmless (iterator_input_adapter is
iterator-type-agnostic), verified via unit-ubjson/unit-bjdata tests.
Closes remaining limitation from #4354 / PR #5218 (todo 106).

* 📡 Fix documentation gaps for 3.13.0 release (todos 138-142)
- Todo 138: Add "Known issues" section to modules.md with compiler-specific troubleshooting (GCC redefinition, MSVC symbol export). Add pointer note to quality_assurance.md.
- Todo 139: Document CBOR/MessagePack half-precision float encoding for NaN/Infinity (0xF9/0xCA with exact byte sequences). Explain pre-3.13.0 double-precision bug mechanism without issue citations.
- Todo 140: Document CBOR negative-integer-overflow rejection (parse_error.112) for magnitudes exceeding int64_t range (already implemented in rev 1).
- Todo 141: Update version history in value.md and operator[].md with behavior-change details, removing issue citations per citation policy (prose is self-contained).
- Todo 142: Global sed replace of 3.12.x → 3.13.0 placeholder across all 20 documentation files.
Revision 2 incorporates feedback to reduce changelog-like issue citations. Only citations that add unique troubleshooting value are retained (#5103 for GCC workaround, #3970 for MSVC symbol export). "Known issues" section follows PR #5252's visual pattern (info admonition with bold-bullet format).

* 📡 Document integer type selection, type_name() invalid value, and std::optional get() fix
- number_handling.md: clarify that positive/negative integers select
unsigned/signed storage based on the leading minus sign (todo 143).
- type_name.md: document the new "invalid" return value for corrupted
JSON values (todo 145).
- get.md: note that get<std::optional<T>>() was unreachable in every
configuration prior to 3.13.0 due to an internal macro-guard bug,
unrelated to JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS's actual effect (todo 144).
