Niels Lohmann c4469c9f82 Add regression test for converting json to std::variant<json> (#5066)
With 3.10.5, get<std::variant<json>>() was well-formed through the string
from_json overload, so the implicit conversion operator was a candidate
when converting json to std::variant<json>, and MSVC picked it over the
variant's converting constructor. The tightened constraints from #3427 and
#3604 (3.11.0) removed that path; this test guards against regressions.

When used without parentheses around an empty initializer list, `basic_json()` is called instead of this

The conversion is implicit unless [`JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS`](../macros/json_use_implicit_conversions.md)
is defined to `0` and `BasicJsonType::string_t` differs from `string_t`. In that case, the constructor is
`explicit`, so a JSON value with a different string type is no longer silently converted, for example when it is
passed to a function taking `#!cpp const json&`. Write `#!cpp json(other)` or `#!cpp other.get<json>()` instead.

A `basic_json` specialization with a different string type is also no longer converted implicitly when
`JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS` is defined to `0`:
```cpp
using wjson = nlohmann::basic_json<std::map, std::vector, std::wstring>;

```
Specializations that share the same string type, such as `json` and `ordered_json`, remain implicitly
convertible.
