De-duplicate the diagnostic-positions test files via define-based recompilation

tests/src/unit-class_parser_diagnostic_positions.cpp and
tests/src/unit-diagnostic-positions-only.cpp were maintained as near-copies
of unit-class_parser.cpp and unit-diagnostic-positions.cpp respectively, and
had drifted: trailing-comma handling, the #5342 filter-array/filter-value
sections, and the cross-input-adapter diagnostics test were never ported to
the positions-enabled copy.

Fold the position-specific assertions into the base files, guarded by
#if JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS / #if JSON_DIAGNOSTICS, and compile each base
file a second time with the relevant macro set via CMake COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
(mirroring the existing test-comparison_legacy pattern) instead of
maintaining a separate source file. This removes the duplication and, as a
side effect, closes the coverage gaps above since the full test file now
compiles under JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS=1 as well.

Fixes #5417
