Docs: reading and writing files; patch_inplace() is not atomic

- New page features/files.md: read a file with a stream and check that it
  was opened, serialize before opening the output file, replace a file via a
  temporary file and rename, binary formats in binary mode. The library keeps
  no file I/O of its own.
- patch_inplace(): say what a failed patch leaves behind (the earlier
  operations, and a failing move may already have removed its source) and
  point to patch() for all-or-nothing behaviour.

+    (a "remove" followed by an "add") may already have removed the value at its "from" location; see the second example

+    paths are only detected while the patch is applied.
 
 Duplicate member names inside an operation object are resolved by the parser before the patch is applied (the last one
 is kept, see [`object_t`](object_t.md#behavior)), so `#!json {"op": "add", "op": "remove", "path": "/a"}` is a

+# Reading and writing files
+
+The library has no functions that take a file name. It reads from and writes to streams, so files are handled with
+`#!cpp std::ifstream` and `#!cpp std::ofstream` (or a `#!cpp FILE*` when reading). This page collects the recipes for
+the common cases and the mistakes that show up again and again.
+
+## Reading a JSON file
+
+Pass the stream to [`parse`](../api/basic_json/parse.md) directly, and check that the file was opened:
+
+```cpp
+#include <fstream>
+#include <stdexcept>
+#include <string>
+#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
+
+using json = nlohmann::json;
+
+json read_json_file(const std::string& path)
+{
+    std::ifstream f(path);
+    if (!f.is_open())
+    {
+        throw std::runtime_error("cannot open " + path);
+    }
+    return json::parse(f);
+}
+```
+
+- **Check that the file is open.** A stream that failed to open looks like an empty input, so `parse` reports
+  [`parse_error.101`](../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error101) ("unexpected end of input") at line 1,
+  column 1 instead of saying that the file is missing. A relative path is resolved against the working directory of the
+  running program, which is often not the directory of the source file (see the
+  [FAQ](../home/faq.md#parsing-a-file-fails-with-unexpected-end-of-input)).
+- **Don't read the file into a string first.** Parsing from a `#!cpp std::ifstream` is only about 10 to 20 % slower
+  than parsing a string that holds the whole file, and it needs no memory for the copy (see
+  [input sources and performance](parsing/index.md#input-sources-and-performance)). Read the file into a string only if
+  you need the text itself, for example for an error message.
+- `parse` requires the file to hold exactly one JSON value. Files with one value per line are read with
+  [JSON Lines](parsing/json_lines.md); files too large for memory are covered in
+  [Large, streamed, and partial input](parsing/large_and_partial_input.md).
+
+## Writing a JSON file
+
+[`dump`](../api/basic_json/dump.md) the value into a string first, then write the string:
+
+```cpp
+void write_json_file(const std::string& path, const json& j)
+{
+    const std::string text = j.dump(4) + '\n';  // may throw: nothing is written yet
+
+    std::ofstream f(path, std::ios::binary);
+    if (!f.is_open())
+    {
+        throw std::runtime_error("cannot open " + path);
+    }
+    f << text;
+    f.close();
+    if (f.fail())
+    {
+        throw std::runtime_error("cannot write " + path);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- **Serialize before opening the file.** Opening a `#!cpp std::ofstream` truncates the file. `dump` and
+  [`operator<<`](../api/operator_ltlt.md) throw [`type_error.316`](../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316)
+  when a string is not valid UTF-8 (see [handling invalid UTF-8](serialization.md#handling-invalid-utf-8)), and
+  `#!cpp f << std::setw(4) << j` may already have written part of the value when it throws. Serializing into a string
+  first leaves the old file untouched in that case.
+- **Check the stream after closing it.** A full disk or a missing permission sets the stream's error state; it does not
+  throw unless you enabled exceptions on the stream with `exceptions()`.
+- `std::ios::binary` writes the text as it is. Without it, Windows writes `\r\n` for every newline of a pretty-printed
+  value.
+
+## Replacing a file without corrupting it
+
+A program that crashes or is killed while it writes leaves a truncated file behind. To make sure readers see either the
+old or the new contents, write to a temporary file in the same directory and rename it over the original
+(C++17, `#!cpp <filesystem>`):
+
+```cpp
+#include <filesystem>
+
+void replace_json_file(const std::filesystem::path& path, const json& j)
+{
+    std::filesystem::path tmp = path;
+    tmp += ".tmp";  // use a unique name if several processes may write the file
+
+    write_json_file(tmp.string(), j);
+    std::filesystem::rename(tmp, path);  // replaces path
+}
+```
+
+The temporary file must be in the same directory (more precisely, on the same file system) as the target, as a rename
+across file systems is a copy. On POSIX systems, the rename atomically replaces the file. Standard C++ has no way to
+flush a file to the disk (`fsync`), so this protects against a crashed program, but not necessarily against a power
+loss.
+
+## Binary formats
+
+The [binary formats](binary_formats/index.md) work the same way, with the streams opened in binary mode:
+
+```cpp
+// read
+std::ifstream in("data.cbor", std::ios::binary);
+json j = json::from_cbor(in);
+
+// write
+const std::vector<std::uint8_t> bytes = json::to_cbor(j);
+std::ofstream out("data.cbor", std::ios::binary);
+out.write(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(bytes.data()), static_cast<std::streamsize>(bytes.size()));
+```
+
+Without `std::ios::binary`, Windows turns the bytes `0x0D 0x0A` into `0x0A` and may stop at a byte `0x1A` while reading,
+and turns `0x0A` into `0x0D 0x0A` while writing, which corrupts the data.
