Fix clang-tidy and clang 3.4/3.5 failures in the custom number type changes

Parenthesize n % 10 in integer_to_string for readability-math-missing-parentheses, and give class_int non-template constructors (as absl::int128 has): clang 3.4 and 3.5 reject the defaulted basic_json::data() constructor for a number type with template constructors.

-
-Creates a [JSON Merge Patch](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396) so that value `source` can be changed into the value
-`target` by calling the [`merge_patch`](merge_patch.md) function. The patch contains only what differs: changed and
-added members with their new values, and removed members with the value `#!json null`. Nested objects are compared
-member by member; any other value that differs, including an array, is replaced as a whole.
-
-For two JSON values `source` and `target`, where `target` contains no object member whose value is `#!json null`, the
-following code always yields `#!cpp true` (for [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), see the notes below):
-```cpp
-basic_json patched = source;
-patched.merge_patch(merge_diff(source, target));
-patched == target;
-```
-
-## Parameters
-
-`source` (in)
-:   JSON value to compare from
-
-`target` (in)
-:   JSON value to compare against
-
-## Return value
-
-a JSON Merge Patch to convert the `source` to `target`
-
-## Exception safety
-
-Strong guarantee: `source` and `target` are never modified.
-
-## Complexity
-
-Linear in the total number of values (including nested ones) in `source` and `target`, times the cost of a key-based
-object operation (looking up a key, or adding one to the patch): logarithmic for [`json`](../json.md), and linear for
-[`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md) (see [`ordered_map` complexity](../ordered_map.md#complexity)). For
-`ordered_json`, diffing two objects with `n` and `m` members therefore takes O((n+m)²).
-
-## Notes
-
- A merge patch uses `#!json null` to remove a member, so it cannot set a member to `#!json null`. As in RFC 7396, a
-  `#!json null` member of `target` is treated as absent: the patch removes the member from `source` instead of setting
-  it to `#!json null`. A member that is `#!json null` in both `source` and `target` is unchanged and left out of the
-  patch, so `source` keeps it.
- A merge patch cannot reorder object members, and [`merge_patch`](merge_patch.md) appends added members at the end.
-  For [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), the patched value therefore has the same members as `target`, but not
-  necessarily in the same order, and may compare unequal to it. The patch lists changed and removed members in the
-  order of `source`, followed by added members in the order of `target`.

Niels Lohmann	c10760455b	Move the std::deque array test out of unit-regression3.cpp The range checks added to binary_writer pushed the C++20 build of unit-regression3.cpp past 65535 sections, so the MinGW clang 18 job failed to link it ("relocation truncated to fit: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32 against `.rdata'"). Move the regression test for #5476, the only one instantiating a second basic_json specialization with the binary formats, into unit-custom-array-type.cpp, which already tests the same deque_json type.

Niels Lohmann	50dc14c12c	Format the out_of_range.407 number without dump() dump() instantiates the serializer for the whole value type, which does not compile for object key types it cannot write (e.g., the custom_key_test::key_c_str of #5795), even though the value is always a number here. Produce the decimal digits directly instead; they are generated per digit so that the minimum of a signed type is never negated as a whole.

Niels Lohmann	4001fe68b9	Fix silent wrong results for custom number types Two bugs for custom number types that compile on develop (found while analysing #3578): - compare_integer_with_float() took the signedness of the integer type from std::is_signed, which is false for class types such as absl::int128 or boost::multiprecision::cpp_int. Any float below zero then compared less than every integer, e.g. json(int128(-5)) < json(-2.5) was false. The signedness now comes from std::numeric_limits, like the digits used for the range bound. - With number_integer_t/number_unsigned_t wider than 64 bits (e.g. __int128), CBOR, MessagePack, and BSON silently truncated integers beyond 64 bits (to_cbor of 2^100 read back as 0), BJData truncated unsigned ones with the 'M' marker and could encode truncated ND-array elements and dimensions, and BON8 did not compile (std::to_string is ambiguous for __int128). The writers now throw out_of_range.407 when an integer does not fit the format's range ([-2^64, 2^64-1] for CBOR, [-2^63, 2^64-1] for MessagePack, int64/uint64 for BSON, int64 for BON8); BJData writes such unsigned values as high-precision numbers, as it already did for signed ones and UBJSON does for both, and falls back to a plain object for the ND-array. The checks use std::numeric_limits digits and compile away when the number types are at most 64 bits wide, so the default types pay nothing (the CBOR, MessagePack, and BSON writers compile to identical code). The new unit-custom-number-types.cpp tests the comparison with a small class-type integer and the writers with __int128 where the standard library supports it as an integral type.
