Niels Lohmann 0db359cabc Restore v3.12.0 support for custom object key types
Custom object_t types whose key_type is not string_t compiled with
v3.12.0 for several APIs that unreleased changes broke:

- to_bson failed for every custom key type (#5553 kept a const string_t*
  to the key); the nested entry's header is now written where the entry
  is found.
- Copying deep values (and parse, merge_patch, update, insert) required
  operator== on keys (#5389); keys without one are now paired via find().
- to_cbor/to_msgpack required an implicit conversion to string_t (#5746,
  #5328); keys without one go through a temporary basic_json again.
- at() required a conversion to string_t for its error message (#5727);
  other keys are passed to concat() unchanged again.

The new unit-custom-object-key-type.cpp covers five key types with
different capabilities.
