json_view: no save() and load() on big-endian targets

The image format is little-endian only. Instead of throwing
type_error.320 at runtime, save_image(), load_image() and the members
save() and load() do not exist on a big-endian target, so a call fails to
compile, like set() on a read-only document. type_error.320 remains for
saving a discarded document.

+`read_only`
+:   the default: the document is parsed once and then only read. It carries none of the bookkeeping edits need, and
+    calling [`set`](basic_json_document/set.md), [`push_back`](basic_json_document/push_back.md),
+    [`insert`](basic_json_document/insert.md), or [`erase`](basic_json_document/erase.md) on it fails to compile.
+
+`editable`
+:   the document also offers [`set`](basic_json_document/set.md), [`push_back`](basic_json_document/push_back.md),
+    [`insert`](basic_json_document/insert.md), and [`erase`](basic_json_document/erase.md); its views see every edit,
+    see [Edits](basic_json_document/index.md#edits).
+
+The shortcuts name both modes: [`json_document`](json_document.md) and [`json_view`](json_view.md) are read-only,
+[`json_editable_document`](json_editable_document.md) and [`json_editable_view`](json_editable_view.md) are editable
+(and likewise for `ordered_json`).
+
+## Notes
+
+The mode is a compile-time property of the document's and the view's type, not a setting of a call, and there is no conversion between the two modes: a read-only view reads a
+container in place, while a view of an editable document follows the links that edits leave behind. A function that
+accepts views therefore names the modes it accepts in its signature:
+
+```cpp
+// views of editable documents only
+template<typename BasicJsonType>
+void f(basic_json_view<BasicJsonType, view_mode::editable> v);
+
+// views of read-only documents only
+template<typename BasicJsonType>
+void f(basic_json_view<BasicJsonType, view_mode::read_only> v);
+
+// either
+template<typename BasicJsonType, view_mode Mode>
+void f(basic_json_view<BasicJsonType, Mode> v);
+```
+
+A function that takes a [`json_view`](json_view.md) accepts neither an [`ordered_json_view`](ordered_json_view.md)
+nor a [`json_editable_view`](json_editable_view.md). Views of the two modes still compare with
+[`operator==`](basic_json_view/operator_eq.md).
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example
+
+    The example below shows a function template that accepts the views of both modes, and one that accepts only
+    views of editable documents.
+
+    ```cpp
+    --8<-- "examples/view_mode.cpp"
+    ```
+
+    Output:
+
+    ```
+    --8<-- "examples/view_mode.output"
+    ```
