Make serializer's indent_string lazily allocated

The serializer constructor unconditionally allocated a 512-byte indent_string, even though it is only ever read inside the pretty_print branches of dump(). This wasted a heap allocation (and its matching deallocation) on every compact (i.e. default, non-pretty) dump() call. indent_string is now default-constructed empty and lazily grown to 512 bytes, filled with indent_char, the first time a pretty-print branch actually needs it. The existing doubling/growth logic for larger indents is otherwise untouched, so output remains byte-identical to before -- including in the pre-existing edge case where growth beyond the initial buffer fills with ' ' instead of indent_char (tracked separately by open PR #5186, which is left alone here). The second, larger optimization mentioned in #5413 (removing the shared_ptr-based output adapter) is intentionally out of scope, as it overlaps open PR #5285. Fixes #5413 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

-## Template parameters
-
-`InputType`
-:   A compatible input, for instance:
-
-    - an `std::istream` object
-    - a `FILE` pointer
-    - a C-style array of characters
-    - a pointer to a null-terminated string of single byte characters
-    - a container `obj` for which `begin(obj)` and `end(obj)` produce a valid pair of iterators
-      (as found via ADL or member functions, with semantics compatible to `std::begin` and `std::end`)
-
-`IteratorType`
-:   a compatible iterator type
-
-`SentinelType`
-:   defaults to `IteratorType`; may be a different type comparable to `IteratorType` via `operator!=`, for instance.
-
-    - a custom sentinel type for C++20 ranges
-    - `std::default_sentinel_t`, when `IteratorType` is `std::counted_iterator`
-
-## Parameters
-
-`i` (in)
-:   an input in BON8 format convertible to an input adapter
-
-`first` (in)
-:   iterator to the start of the input
-
-`last` (in)
-:   iterator to the end of the input, or a sentinel value that compares equal to the end iterator with `operator!=`
-
-`strict` (in)
-:   whether to expect the input to be consumed until EOF (`#!cpp true` by default)
-
-`allow_exceptions` (in)
-:   whether to throw exceptions in case of a parse error (optional, `#!cpp true` by default)

-    The macro does not only affect a single JSON value in braces. **Any** single-element braced list is treated as its

-    json j3 = {{1, 2}};  // [1,2], not [[1,2]]

-    Code that relies on these producing arrays must use `json::array()` instead (see below). Lists with more than one

-## Notes
-
-!!! note "Background"
-
-    A number is the only JSON value whose end can be detected solely by reading the character that follows it. By
-    default, that character is consumed and not put back, so the stream is left one byte too far after a number, and
-    only after a number:
-
-    ```cpp
-    std::istringstream input("1true");
-    json j;
-    input >> j;  // j == 1, but the stream now starts at "rue"
-    ```
-
-    With this macro, the character is only looked at and left in the stream, so the stream starts at `true`. This
-    does not require the stream buffer to support putting a character back.
-
-    This was not changed unconditionally, because code can depend on the consumed character, even unknowingly (see
-    [#5340](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/5340)). Both of the following work by default only because the
-    character after each number is swallowed, and behave differently with this macro:
-
-    ```cpp
-    std::istringstream input("1,2,3");
-    json j1, j2, j3;
-    input >> j1 >> j2 >> j3;  // default: 1, 2, 3
-                              // with the macro: throws parse_error.101 at the ','
-    ```
-

-# JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING
-
-```cpp
-#define JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING /* value */
-```
-
-When defined to `1`, a `'\0'` (NUL) byte in JSON text input is rejected with `parse_error.101`, like any other
-unexpected byte, instead of being silently treated as end of input.
-
-The macro only affects the JSON text parser ([`parse`](../basic_json/parse.md), [`accept`](../basic_json/accept.md),
-[`sax_parse`](../basic_json/sax_parse.md), and [`operator>>`](../operator_gtgt.md)). There are three cases where a NUL
-byte is still not rejected:
-
- The binary formats ([`from_bjdata`](../basic_json/from_bjdata.md), [`from_bon8`](../basic_json/from_bon8.md),
-  [`from_bson`](../basic_json/from_bson.md), [`from_cbor`](../basic_json/from_cbor.md),
-  [`from_msgpack`](../basic_json/from_msgpack.md), [`from_ubjson`](../basic_json/from_ubjson.md)) are never affected: there, `0x00` is ordinary data.
- A bare `const char*` pointer has no length of its own, so its length is still determined with `strlen()`. The first
-  NUL byte therefore still marks the end of the input, and nothing after it is read.
- One trailing `'\0'` at the end of a `char` array (e.g., a string literal) is trimmed; see the warning below.
-
-## Default definition
-
-The default value is `0` (disabled — existing behavior is preserved).
-
-```cpp
-#define JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING 0
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-!!! note "Background"
-
-    By default, a `'\0'` byte anywhere in the input is treated the same as the real end of the input, rather than as
-    an ordinary (and, outside of a string, invalid) byte. Everything from that byte onward is silently ignored,
-    without a parse error - including further, otherwise well-formed JSON:
-
-    ```cpp
-    json::parse(std::string("123") + '\0');          // == 123, no error
-    json::parse(std::string("123") + '\0' + "true"); // == 123, the "true" is silently ignored too
-    ```
-
-    This falls out of the same convention used when no explicit input length is given at all: parsing from a
-    `const char*` already stops at the first NUL byte via `strlen()`, since a bare pointer has no length of its own.
-    The library applies that same NUL-terminated-C-string convention uniformly, rather than only when a length is
-    genuinely unavailable - so a `std::string`, iterator range, or container whose content happens to include a NUL
-    byte is affected the same way a raw `const char*` would be (see the
-    [FAQ entry](../../home/faq.md#nul-bytes-in-the-input) for a fuller explanation).
-
-    This was not fixed unconditionally, because doing so is backwards-incompatible for any caller who happens to
-    depend on the current behavior - even unknowingly, for instance because their input already contains trailing
-    padding they never noticed was being discarded (see [#5530](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/5530)).
-    This macro instead offers an opt-in path to the corrected behavior ahead of version 4.0.0, where it is planned to
-    become the default.
-
-!!! warning "Opt-in only"
-
-    This macro must be defined **before** including `<nlohmann/json.hpp>`. Defining it after the include has no
-    effect.
-
-    Enabling it also changes how a `char` array (including a string literal, e.g. `json::parse("123")`) is read: such
-    an array normally carries a trailing `'\0'` contributed by the compiler, not by the source text. With this macro
-    enabled, that one trailing byte is trimmed if present so that parsing a string literal keeps working; every other
-    byte in the array - including any `'\0'` that is not the very last element - is read as real data and rejected
-    like any other unexpected byte. Arrays of any other element type (`unsigned char`, `std::uint8_t`, ...), as used
-    for CBOR or MessagePack, are never affected by this trimming; their full extent - including a genuine trailing
-    `0x00` - is always preserved, in both states of this macro.
-
-!!! note "ABI compatibility"
-
-    The value of this macro is encoded in the [namespace](../../features/namespace.md) (tag `_snul`), resulting in
-    distinct symbol names. Translation units compiled with and without it can therefore be linked into the same program
-    without One Definition Rule (ODR) violations, but they cannot exchange instances of library types.
-
-!!! tip "Workaround without the macro"
-
-    To reject a NUL byte without enabling this macro, trim your input yourself before calling `parse()`:
-
-    ```cpp
-    s.resize(s.find('\0')); // drop everything from the first NUL onward, if any
-    json::parse(s);
-    ```
-
-## Examples

-
-!!! note "Reading"

-    Reading is not affected by the macro: a map with enum keys can always be read from both an array of pairs and an
-    object. For the latter, each key is converted to the enum with its `from_json` function, e.g., the one defined by
-    [`NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM`](nlohmann_json_serialize_enum.md). Data written without the macro can therefore
-    still be read after enabling it.

-# JSON_USE_SIMDUTF
-
-```cpp
-#define JSON_USE_SIMDUTF
-```
-
-When defined, the parser validates the UTF-8 content of JSON strings that come from a **contiguous byte input**
-(`std::string`, `std::vector<char>`/`<std::uint8_t>`, string literals, `const char*` ranges, …) using the
-[simdutf](https://github.com/simdutf/simdutf) library instead of the built-in scalar validator. On text with many
-non-ASCII characters (e.g. CJK or emoji) this can validate several times faster.
-
-This is an **opt-in external dependency**. The library itself remains header-only and its behavior is unchanged: the
-same input is accepted or rejected either way, and every parse error is reported at the same position with the same
-message (simdutf is only used to fast-path *valid* runs; anything it flags falls back to the scalar path so the exact
-diagnostic is preserved). Streaming inputs (files, `std::istream`, wide strings, user-defined adapters) always use the
-scalar path.
-
-When `JSON_USE_SIMDUTF` is defined you must make the `simdutf.h` header available on the include path and link the
-simdutf library. When it is not defined, no simdutf header is included and there is no dependency.
-
-!!! note "Requires C++17"
-
-    simdutf requires C++17 and its header rejects older standards with an `#!cpp #error`. The backend is therefore only
-    compiled in from C++17 on. In C++11 and C++14 the macro has no effect and the scalar validator is used, which
-    accepts and rejects exactly the same input -- only throughput differs. Setting the macro project-wide is therefore
-    safe even when some translation units are built with an older standard.
-
-!!! warning "Define consistently"
-
-    The macro selects between two definitions of the same inline validation function. It must therefore be defined
-    identically for **every** translation unit that includes the library; mixing translation units that define it with
-    ones that do not is an ODR violation. Prefer setting it as a compile definition on the target rather than with
-    `#!cpp #define` in individual source files.
-
-## Default definition
-
-By default, `#!cpp JSON_USE_SIMDUTF` is not defined and the portable C++11 scalar validator is used.
-
-```cpp
-#undef JSON_USE_SIMDUTF
-```

-## Examples

-    target_link_libraries(your_target PRIVATE simdutf::simdutf)

-    The unit tests can be built against the simdutf backend with the CMake option `JSON_TestSimdutf` (`OFF` by

-# Assurance case
-
-This page argues why the library meets its security requirements. It describes the threats the library faces, where the
-trust boundaries lie, and how the library's design and the [quality assurance](quality_assurance.md) counter these
-threats. To report a vulnerability, see the [security policy](security_policy.md).
-
-## Threat model
-
-The library parses, stores, and serializes JSON values in memory. It does not open network connections, does not open
-files (it only reads from streams or `std::FILE*` handles that the caller has already opened), does not read environment
-variables, and does not implement cryptography or handle credentials.
-
-The primary threat is therefore **untrusted input**: JSON text or binary data (BJData, BSON, CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON)
-that an attacker controls, passed to [`parse`](../api/basic_json/parse.md), [`accept`](../api/basic_json/accept.md),
-[`sax_parse`](../api/basic_json/sax_parse.md), or one of the `from_*` functions such as
-[`from_cbor`](../api/basic_json/from_cbor.md). Such input may try to
-
- make the library read or write out of bounds (malformed lengths, truncated input, invalid UTF-8),
- trigger undefined behavior (integer overflow in sizes or numbers, invalid casts),
- exhaust memory (huge announced sizes), or
- exhaust the call stack (deeply nested arrays and objects).
-
-## Trust boundaries
-
- **Untrusted:** all serialized input read by the parser, the SAX interface, and the binary readers. The library must
-  handle every possible input by either producing a value or throwing a [`parse_error`](../home/exceptions.md#parse-errors)
-  (or returning `false` when exceptions are disabled for the call).
- **Trusted:** the C++ code that calls the library. Calling a function with violated preconditions, for instance
-  accessing an array with [`operator[]`](../api/basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) out of range, is a programming error and
-  not a security boundary. Such preconditions are checked with [runtime assertions](../features/assertions.md) in debug
-  builds; functions such as [`at`](../api/basic_json/at.md) offer checked access with exceptions.
-
-## Secure design
-
- **Strict parsing.** The parser accepts exactly the JSON grammar of [RFC 8259](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259).
-  Extensions such as [comments](../features/comments.md) and [trailing commas](../features/trailing_commas.md) must be
-  enabled explicitly. Invalid UTF-8 is rejected.
- **Errors are reported, not ignored.** Malformed input results in a [`parse_error`](../home/exceptions.md#parse-errors)
-  with the byte position of the error. Binary readers do not trust announced sizes: strings and binary values grow
-  only as bytes are actually read, arrays reserve at most a fixed number of elements up front, and sizes that no
-  container can hold are rejected.
- **Memory is owned by values.** Each `basic_json` value owns its content, and there is no manual memory management in
-  user code. The destructor does not recurse, so destroying a deeply nested value does not exhaust the stack.
- **Bounded recursion.** The JSON parser and the binary readers keep their state in explicit stacks instead of
-  recursing per nesting level. Operations that walk a value, such as [`dump`](../api/basic_json/dump.md), copying,
-  comparison, hashing, and [`merge_patch`](../api/basic_json/merge_patch.md), recurse only up to a fixed depth and
-  continue with an explicit stack below it. Some operations, such as [`diff`](../api/basic_json/diff.md),
-  [`flatten`](../api/basic_json/flatten.md), and the binary writers, still recurse once per nesting level; work on them
-  is in progress. Applications that process untrusted input can limit its nesting depth with a
-  [parser callback](../features/parsing/parser_callbacks.md).
- **Invariants are checked.** The class invariant (for instance, that the pointer for the stored type is never null) is
-  checked with runtime assertions throughout the test suite.

-[Semgrep](https://semgrep.dev), are stored as encrypted GitHub Actions secrets:
-
- Only people with admin access can create, change, or delete them. Their values cannot be read back, not even by

- They are not passed to workflows that run for pull requests from forks.
- They must never be committed to the repository or printed in logs.
- They are rotated whenever someone with admin access leaves the project, and immediately if a leak is suspected.

-# Roadmap
-
-This page describes what the project intends to do, and what it does not intend to do, over the next year. Concrete
-work items are tracked in the [GitHub milestones](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/milestones) and the
-[issue tracker](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues).
-
-## What the project will do
-
- **Keep the C++11 baseline.** The library will continue to compile with every
-  [supported C++11 compiler](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/README.md#supported-compilers). Features of
-  later standards are only used when they are guarded by the `JSON_HAS_CPP_*` macros.
- **Stay conformant to JSON.** The parser and serializer follow [RFC 8259](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259).
-  Extensions such as [comments](../features/comments.md) or [trailing commas](../features/trailing_commas.md) remain
-  opt-in.
- **Keep the 3.x public API stable.** Releases follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org). Changes that would
-  break existing code are only added behind a feature macro, so users can opt in and test their code before a next
-  major release.
- **Support a broad range of compilers and platforms.** The [CI](quality_assurance.md) keeps testing old and new
-  versions of GCC, Clang, MSVC, and other compilers on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- **Keep the quality assurance up.** Every change keeps the test coverage at 100%, passes the static and dynamic
-  analysis, and is fuzz-tested by OSS-Fuzz, see [Quality assurance](quality_assurance.md).
- **Harden the library against hostile input.** Handling deeply nested values without exhausting the call stack is
-  ongoing work.
- **Fix bugs and security issues** reported through the issue tracker and the [security policy](security_policy.md).
-
-## What the project will not do
-
- **Break the public API of version 3.x.** See the
-  [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#break-the-public-api)
-  for what counts as a breaking change.
- **Require a newer C++ standard than C++11.**
- **Break JSON conformance** or enable non-standard extensions by default.
- **Add dependencies** or require a build step. The library remains header-only, and the single header
-  `json.hpp` remains a complete distribution.
- **Trade simplicity for speed or memory efficiency.** Performance improvements are welcome, but the library is not
-  meant to compete with the fastest JSON libraries, see [Design goals](../home/design_goals.md).
-
-## Version 4.0
-
-There is no decision yet on whether or when a version 4.0 with breaking changes will be released. Proposals that need
-a major version, for instance stricter type conversions, are collected in issue
-[#3453](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/3453). Until then, such changes are only added as opt-in behavior
-behind feature macros.
