Make serializer's indent_string lazily allocated

The serializer constructor unconditionally allocated a 512-byte
indent_string, even though it is only ever read inside the
pretty_print branches of dump(). This wasted a heap allocation (and
its matching deallocation) on every compact (i.e. default, non-pretty)
dump() call.

indent_string is now default-constructed empty and lazily grown to
512 bytes, filled with indent_char, the first time a pretty-print
branch actually needs it. The existing doubling/growth logic for
larger indents is otherwise untouched, so output remains byte-identical
to before -- including in the pre-existing edge case where growth
beyond the initial buffer fills with ' ' instead of indent_char
(tracked separately by open PR #5186, which is left alone here).

The second, larger optimization mentioned in #5413 (removing the
shared_ptr-based output adapter) is intentionally out of scope, as it
overlaps open PR #5285.

Fixes #5413
