Fix key types convertible to std::string_view breaking lookups

Since #4958, a key type implicitly convertible to std::string_view was
accepted by is_usable_as_basic_json_key_type without checking that the
object's comparator can actually compare object_t::key_type with that
key type. The key was then forwarded unchanged to the underlying map,
so const operator[], at, find, count, contains, erase and value failed
to compile (a hard error inside <map>) for a key convertible only to
std::string_view, and value() rejected such keys outright. For keys
convertible to both std::string and std::string_view, the KeyType&&
templates now won overload resolution over the object_t::key_type
overloads and then failed the same way, a regression from 3.12.0. Only
the non-const operator[] worked, because it uses emplace(), which
constructs a std::string from the key explicitly. ordered_json was not
affected, since ordered_map checks comparability itself.

Add a trait, is_string_view_convertible_key_type, that recognizes a key
type that is convertible to std::string_view but not directly
comparable with the object's key type, provided std::string_view itself
is comparable with it. at(), operator[], find(), count(), contains(),
erase() and value() now route such keys through a new lookup_key()
helper that converts them to std::string_view before they reach the
object, matching how the object's transparent comparator already
supports std::string_view lookups.

Fixes #5663.
