Create a value before giving it its type (#5585)

* Create a value before giving it its type

Squashed onto develop from:
- Create a value before giving it its type
- Skip the failed-allocation test when exceptions are disabled
- Keep the created pointer rather than an uninitialized json_value
- Skip the vector<bool> failed-allocation check for VS 2015 with iterator debugging
- Test the remaining to_json overloads with a failing allocation
- Skip the to_json allocation-failure section on VS 2015 Debug
- Fix false GCC -Warray-bounds error with JSON_DIAGNOSTICS at -O3 (#5744)

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

* Store the new value with a helper in all to_json constructors

Every external_constructor<>::construct now creates the new value first and
hands it to basic_json::replace_value(), which destroys the old value, stores
the new one before setting its type (as elsewhere in this PR), sets the
parents, and checks the invariant.

The std::vector<bool> and std::valarray overloads use array_t's range
constructor, which the other array overloads already rely on. Range views
keep their loop, as begin() and end() of a view may have different types.

+
+These member alias templates make it easier to create a `basic_json` type that is identical to the current type except
+for one (or, in the case of `with_integers_t`, two) of its [template parameters](index.md#template-parameters).
+Spelling out all 11 template parameters of `basic_json` just to change a single one is verbose and error-prone; these
+aliases only require the replacement type(s).
+
+with_object_t&lt;ObjectType2&gt;
+:   replaces `ObjectType`
+
+with_array_t&lt;ArrayType2&gt;
+:   replaces `ArrayType`
+
+with_string_t&lt;StringType2&gt;
+:   replaces `StringType`
+
+with_boolean_t&lt;BooleanType2&gt;
+:   replaces `BooleanType`
+
+with_integers_t&lt;NumberIntegerType2, NumberUnsignedType2&gt;
+:   replaces both `NumberIntegerType` and `NumberUnsignedType`; the two are combined into a single alias because they
+    are usually changed together (for instance, when switching to fixed-width integer types)
+
+with_float_t&lt;NumberFloatType2&gt;
+:   replaces `NumberFloatType`
+
+with_allocator_t&lt;AllocatorType2&gt;
+:   replaces `AllocatorType`
+
+with_json_serializer_t&lt;JSONSerializer2&gt;
+:   replaces `JSONSerializer`
+
+with_binary_t&lt;BinaryType2&gt;
+:   replaces `BinaryType`
+
+with_base_class_t&lt;CustomBaseClass2&gt;
+:   replaces `CustomBaseClass`; see also [`json_base_class_t`](json_base_class_t.md)
+
+## Notes
+
+All other template parameters are kept unchanged, so the resulting type still uses, for instance, the same
+`ObjectType` unless `with_object_t` itself is used.
+
+The aliases are members of every `basic_json` specialization, including [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), and the
+type they produce is again a `basic_json` specialization. They can therefore be chained to replace several template
+parameters at once:
+
+```cpp
+using my_json = nlohmann::json::with_integers_t<int, unsigned int>::with_float_t<float>;
+using my_ordered_json = nlohmann::ordered_json::with_string_t<std::wstring>;
+```
+
+The result is the same type as spelling out all template parameters, so the order of the chained aliases does not
+matter. For instance, `nlohmann::json::with_object_t<nlohmann::ordered_map>` is `nlohmann::ordered_json`.
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example
+
+    The following code shows how `with_object_t` can be used to create a JSON type that stores object elements in a
+    `std::map` and therefore keeps them sorted by key, unlike the default type which preserves insertion order
+    only when `nlohmann::ordered_json` is used.
+
+    ```cpp
+    --8<-- "examples/with_t.cpp"
+    ```
+
+    Output:
+
+    ```json
+    --8<-- "examples/with_t.output"
+    ```
+
+## See also
+
+- [basic_json](index.md#template-parameters) - the template parameters that can be replaced
+- [json_base_class_t](json_base_class_t.md) - the type used for `CustomBaseClass`
+
+## Version history
+
+- Added in version 3.13.0.

+// JSON_DIAGNOSTICS, GCC (12 to at least 16) reported a false -Warray-bounds
+// error in the inlined set_parents() at -O3. The type of a new string was set
+// before the string was allocated, so GCC had to assume that operator new
+// could change it again and checked the object branch of set_parents()
+// against the string's allocation. Setting the type after creating the value
+// avoids this. The warning depends on GCC's inlining decisions, so the
+// sections cover two patterns that trigger it on different GCC versions
+// (#4819 and #5742).
+// On GCC, this file is compiled with -O3 -Werror=array-bounds (see
+// tests/CMakeLists.txt), so the test fails to build if the warning returns.
