create objects for tokens that cannot be array indices (#5357 )

When operator[](json_pointer) traverses a level that does not exist yet, the null value is turned into an array or an object depending on the reference token. The check only tested whether all characters are digits, so tokens that can never be a valid array index selected an array and then failed: - "01" (and any other token with a leading '0') threw parse_error.106 - the empty token threw out_of_range.404 Both tokens are valid object keys, and both work when the level already exists as an object, so creating the level changed the outcome. Test the token against the RFC 6901, Sect. 4 grammar for array indices instead, so that such tokens create an object. This only affects pointers that threw before.

        When the JSON pointer traverses intermediate levels that don't exist at all yet (not just a missing
        leaf), each missing level is created as an array or an object depending on whether the corresponding
-        pointer token parses as a non-negative integer: a numeric token creates an array, a non-numeric token
-        creates an object. For example, on an initially `#!json null` value, `/foo/0/0/0` creates nested arrays,
-        while `/foo/one/one/one` creates nested objects. This is not specified by the JSON Pointer RFC; it is
-        this library's own, intentional disambiguation rule. See also [JSON Pointer](../../features/json_pointer.md).
+        pointer token is a valid array index: a token that is a nonempty sequence of digits without a leading
+        `0` (or the token `-`) creates an array, and every other token creates an object. For example, on an
+        initially `#!json null` value, `/foo/0/0/0` creates nested arrays, while `/foo/one/one/one` creates
+        nested objects. Tokens such as `01` or the empty token cannot be array indices (cf. RFC 6901, Sect. 4)
+        and therefore create objects, just as they would if the level already existed as an object. This is not
+        specified by the JSON Pointer RFC; it is this library's own, intentional disambiguation rule. See also

-@brief largest element count accepted for a UBJSON container of a valueless type
-
-An element of type 'Z' (null), 'T' (true) or 'F' (false) is encoded by its
-type marker alone, so an optimized container of one of those types has no
-payload at all and its declared count is the only thing that decides how much
-is allocated: `[$Z#L` followed by a large count turns some ten bytes of input
-into that many values (see #2793, which reports 35 GB and 150 seconds). Every
-other type costs at least one byte per element and is bounded by the end of
-the input.
-
-This is a sanity bound rather than a security boundary, and it is far above
-any container met in practice. @ref binary_writer falls back to the
-unoptimized encoding for longer containers, so that a value serialized by
-this library can always be read back.

-@brief compare an integer with a floating point number without precision loss
-
-Widening the integer to the floating point type loses precision beyond the
-float's mantissa, which makes equality intransitive: both 2^63-2 and 2^63-1
-round to 2^63, so each compares equal to that float while differing from each
-other. Ordering built on that is not a strict weak ordering, so sorting such
-values, or using them as keys in an ordered container, is undefined behavior.
-
-Returns a value to be compared against zero with the original operator, which
-reproduces the exact ordering. A NaN operand is returned as is, so comparing it
-against zero keeps NaN's semantics: false for the relational operators and
-unordered for `<=>`.
