Un-nest the run-length ternary in the string escaper

clang-tidy's readability-avoid-nested-conditional-operator (newly enforced
by the ci_clang_tidy job's clang) rejected the nested ?: that picked the
run length: EnsureAscii ? (is_ascii_copyable(...) ? scan : 0) : bulk.

Compute it in an immediately-invoked lambda instead. The value stays const
and the laziness is unchanged - the ascii scan still runs only on the
ensure_ascii path when the first byte is copyable, and string_bulk_run only
on the other path (EnsureAscii is a template bool, so the dead branch is
folded away). Output is byte-for-byte identical; single_include regenerated.
