Niels Lohmann 3f644908e5 Fix clear() to also reset the subtype of a binary value
clear() on a binary value cleared the bytes but left the subtype
untouched, so the result was not equal to a default-constructed
binary value even though the documentation says clear() has the same
effect as *this = basic_json(type()). The fix calls
byte_container_with_subtype::clear_subtype() alongside the existing
clear() call.

Extended the "filled binary" clear() test in unit-modifiers.cpp with
a case that uses a subtype, since the existing cases only covered
binary values without one.

Fixes #5669.

Clears the content of a JSON value and resets it to the default value as if [`basic_json(value_t)`](basic_json.md) would
have been called with the current value type from [`type()`](type.md):

Has the same effect as calling
