Niels Lohmann 52b72b5684 Improve documentation: byte layouts, release pages, See also, dark-mode images (#5906)
- Make the iterator range illustrations legible in dark mode (prefers-color-scheme
  rules inside the SVGs).
- Add a "Byte layout" section with a color-coded byte table to each binary format
  page (BJData, BON8, BSON, CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON), and highlight the smallest
  size per file in the comparison table.
- Add "See also" sections to the overview pages that lacked one.
- Split the release notes into one page per release, grouped by minor version on
  the overview page, with an "API changes" section per release generated from the
  API pages' version histories (hooks/api_changes.py).
- Fact-check the release notes and version histories against the release tags and
  correct wrong or misleading entries (e.g., json_serializer 2.1.0, merge_patch
  3.1.0, items, count, operator[], to_bjdata, std::string_view key support).

nlohmann::json_editable_view

Defined in header <nlohmann/json_view.hpp>

using json_editable_view = basic_json_view<json, true>;

This type is a basic_json_view of a value of a json_editable_document. It offers the same read-only interface as json_view; what is different is what it can be a view of -- a value that set and push_back can change, with every view still referring to it seeing the change, see Edits.

Examples

??? example

The example below is the same as [`json_editable_document`'s](json_editable_document.md): every view read back
out of the document -- `#!cpp doc.root()` and the views nested under it -- sees the edits made through `set`.

```cpp
--8<-- "examples/json_editable_document.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/json_editable_document.output"
```
