Fix clang-tidy and clang 6 in the #5066 regression test

ci_clang_tidy asked for emplace_back instead of push_back. The
push_back is the point of the test: #5066 is about the implicit
conversion from json to the vector's value type, which emplace_back
would bypass. Silence the check on that line.

clang 5 and 6 cannot instantiate std::variant<json> from libstdc++ 10's
<variant> ("cannot cast private base class"), which broke
ci_test_compilers_clang (6). Tested with the CI images: clang 7 to 11
compile and pass, including clang 11 with libstdc++ 10. Skip the runtime
check for clang before 7; the static_assert still runs.
