Niels Lohmann 6197341a21 Clean up non-code files (#5801)
* Clean up README, contribution guide, and repository metadata

- REUSE.toml: fix the Hedley path and SPDX id (CC0-1.0), mark the docset
  icons as the public-domain JSON logo
- CITATION.cff: v3.12.0 was released on 2025-04-11
- FILES.md: list all workflows, describe the Meson option defaults
- README: ctest -LE, table of contents, typos, stale Android/MinGW advice,
  moved links, merge duplicate Thanks entries, list the analysis tools
  used in CI
- CONTRIBUTING: iterative parser, json_literals.hpp is generated, links
- .gitignore: backups and release outputs; .gitattributes: mark
  generated files
- labeler: label other build systems and .github documentation
- MODULE.bazel: add the module version

* Clean up CI, CMake, Makefile, and Bazel files

- CMakeLists.txt: avoid VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL, which CMake < 3.7 lacks
- ci.cmake: test JSON_DisableTupleReferenceConversion in ci_cmake_flags,
  remove unused variables and unreachable per-compiler targets, look up
  Clang tools consistently, forward CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to ci_module_cpp20,
  format json_literals.hpp and remove backups in ci_test_amalgamation
- BUILD.bazel: add json_literals.hpp to the single-header target
- workflows: format json_literals.hpp before copying it, drop the obsolete
  natvis --version plumbing, name natvis and macro_builder in failure
  messages, drop the duplicate amalgamation job, install Valgrind only
  where needed, republish docs on version bumps, fix stale names
- Makefile: complete .PHONY and help, check-amalgamation always restores
  the checked-in files, natvis uses its own venv, macro_builder_check
  installs astyle, clean removes the fuzzer binaries
- remove tools/amalgamate/config_json_view.json (json_view.hpp is not on
  develop yet)

* Fix inaccuracies in the documentation

- version history: json_base_class_t (3.11.3), JSON_HAS_CPP_11 (3.10.0),
  JSON_HAS_RANGES exclusions, define-type macros, ABI tags
- releases: 3.12.0 raised the minimum CMake version
- from_*: the (ptr, len) overloads are deleted, not removed, in 4.0.0
- contains/count/find: document the deleted integral overloads
- add JSON_HAS_RANGE_VIEW_CONVERSION and list the JSON_HAS_* macros in
  the macro overview
- mention BON8 and error_handler where binary formats are listed
- broken links, outdated URLs, warning count, Hunter v0.26.12
- copy_markdown_source hook: expand snippets in the Markdown copies

* Pass /EHsc to the Windows C++20 module build

ci_module_cpp20 now forwards CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to the module build. The
Windows workflow sets CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, which replaces CMake's MSVC
defaults including /EHsc, so <chrono> failed with C4530 under /WX.

NLOHMANN_JSON_NAMESPACE

#define NLOHMANN_JSON_NAMESPACE /* value */

This macro evaluates to the full name of the nlohmann namespace.

Default definition

The default value consists of the root namespace (nlohmann) and an inline ABI namespace. See nlohmann Namespace for details.

When the macro is not defined, the library will define it to its default value. Overriding this value has no effect on the library.

Examples

??? example

The example shows how to use `NLOHMANN_JSON_NAMESPACE` instead of just `nlohmann`, as well as how to output the value
of `NLOHMANN_JSON_NAMESPACE`.

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

Output:

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