Niels Lohmann e59b455616 Update doc example outputs for new object-conversion iteration order
Reserving capacity in from_json()'s object-conversion path before
inserting elements changes libstdc++'s std::unordered_map bucket
layout, which changes the iteration order used by
get__ValueType_const.cpp, get_to.cpp and operator__ValueType.cpp to
print the elements of a converted std::unordered_map<std::string,
json>. Verified against a clean develop checkout (built with the
same GCC/libstdc++ used in CI) that the old order was produced
without this PR's change and the new order is produced with it, and
that the three affected examples now match their updated expected
output byte-for-byte.

Niels Lohmann e29ac4f043 Reserve capacity in from_json() object conversion when supported
The object-to-container from_json() overload filled the target
container one element at a time without reserving capacity, even
when the target type supports reserve() (e.g. std::unordered_map)
and the number of elements is already known. This caused unnecessary
rehashing while parsing large objects into such containers.

Add a reserve-detecting overload (from_json_object_impl), mirroring
the priority_tag-based SFINAE technique already used by the array
conversion path (from_json_array_impl), so that reserve(size()) is
called up front when available and the loop falls back unchanged
otherwise (e.g. for std::map).

Fixes #5406

### json.exception.out_of_range.413
A JSON Patch `remove` operation cannot be applied because the target location's parent is neither an object nor an array. Per [RFC 6902](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6902), a `remove` target must reference a member of an existing object or an element of an existing array; a primitive value (string, number, boolean, etc.) or `null` has no members or elements to remove.
!!! failure "Example message"
```
cannot remove value: the JSON Patch 'remove' target's parent is of type number, but must be an object or array
```
!!! note
This exception was added in version 3.13.0. Before that, this situation was silently ignored (the `remove` operation had no effect).
### json.exception.out_of_range.414
A JSON Patch `move` operation's `"from"` location is a proper prefix of its `"path"` location. Per [RFC 6902](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6902) (section 4.4), a location cannot be moved into one of its own children.
!!! failure "Example message"
```
cannot move value: 'from' path '/0' is a proper prefix of 'path' '/0/0'
```
!!! note
This exception was added in version 3.13.0. Before that, this situation could succeed with a corrupted result: for an array target, removing the "from" element before the "add" step shifted subsequent indices, so "path" silently re-resolved to a different element than intended.
