json_view: no byte range in exceptions about a removed value

#5990 dropped the found flag from diagnostics(), reasoning that a value
value_path() does not find leaves no tokens, like the root. But the node
of a value that is no longer part of the document still holds the bytes
it had in the source, so with JSON_DIAGNOSTICS and
JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS its exceptions gained "(bytes 1-4)" for text
that is no longer there. The test #5997 added for exactly this case
(unit-json_view_positions.cpp, "views of values that are no longer part
of the document") has failed on develop since both were merged.

Restore the flag: a value that is not found gets no context, the root
keeps its byte range.
