Niels Lohmann 62184316bb Use the input_format member instead of passing the format to binary_reader helpers
The helpers (get_number, get_to, get_string, get_binary, get_bytes,
emit_signed, emit_unsigned, emit_float, unexpect_eof, exception_message)
are members of binary_reader, which already stores the format it was
constructed with, so the parameter was redundant.

Niels Lohmann 44325873ea Check integer-to-float fallbacks for overflow in the binary readers
emit_signed, emit_unsigned, and the CBOR negative integer fallback now
pass their number_float_t fallback through emit_float, so a value that
overflows number_float_t is rejected with out_of_range.406 like a
floating-point value, instead of silently becoming infinity. This only
matters for a number_float_t that cannot represent 2^64, such as a
half-precision type. The CBOR value -1 - n is computed as long double so
that emit_float sees a finite value.

Niels Lohmann 0c630d4c30 Fix MSVC and clang 3.5 in the narrow number type test
MSVC types 3000000000 and 5000000000 as unsigned long, so
json(-3000000000) triggered C4146 (unary minus on an unsigned type),
which /WX turns into an error. Use LL literals, as elsewhere in the
tests.

clang 3.5 cannot convert the lambdas in the braced initializer of the
format table to function pointers. Use named functions instead.

Niels Lohmann 04ed4f593c Handle numbers that do not fit narrow number types in the binary readers
With custom number types narrower than the values in a binary document,
for example basic_json<..., std::int32_t, std::uint32_t, float>, every
binary reader (CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON, BJData, BSON, BON8) passed the
decoded number to the SAX interface with an implicit conversion: the
integer 5000000000 silently became 705032704, and a finite double such as
1e300 became infinity. The lexer handles the same values in JSON text: an
integer that fits neither integer type is stored as number_float_t, and a
finite number that overflows number_float_t is rejected with
out_of_range.406.

Pass every number read from binary input through three helpers that
apply the lexer's rules:
- emit_signed(): number_integer_t, else number_unsigned_t for a
  non-negative value, else number_float_t
- emit_unsigned(): number_unsigned_t, else number_float_t
- emit_float(): out_of_range.406 if a finite value overflows
  number_float_t; infinity and NaN are passed on

For consistency, a CBOR negative integer below the range of
number_integer_t is now stored as number_float_t, like a too small
integer in JSON text, instead of being rejected with parse_error.112.
With the default number types, this is the only change in behavior.
