Merge branch 'develop' into docs/review-fixes

Conflicts:
- include/nlohmann/json.hpp: took develop's removal of the UDLs (moved to json_literals.hpp, which already has the corrected @sa links)
- single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp: regenerated with make amalgamate
- docs/mkdocs/docs/api/operator_literal_json.md, operator_literal_json_pointer.md: kept the PR's migration guide link and develop's json_literals.hpp/JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS note
- docs/mkdocs/docs/api/basic_json/to_bson.md: both sides added out_of_range.415; kept develop's example message and both version history lines
- docs/docset/docSet.sql: added JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS (new on develop), which the PR's check_structure.py requires
