Niels Lohmann c9f1d2d646 Broaden JSON_HEDLEY_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT coverage to pure query functions (#5477)
* Broaden JSON_HEDLEY_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT coverage to pure query functions

Add JSON_HEDLEY_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT to the unambiguous, const,
side-effect-free observer functions whose return value is the entire
purpose of the call:

- dump()
- type(), type_name()
- all is_* predicates (is_primitive, is_structured, is_null,
  is_boolean, is_number, is_number_integer, is_number_unsigned,
  is_number_float, is_object, is_array, is_string, is_binary,
  is_discarded)
- empty(), size(), max_size()
- count(...) (both overloads) and contains(...) (all overloads,
  including the deprecated json_pointer<BasicJsonType> overload)

This mirrors the direction the standard library has taken with
[[nodiscard]] on the analogous std::vector/std::map members, and
catches real bugs such as `j.empty();` (meant `j.clear();`) or
`j.contains(k);` with the result thrown away.

Deliberately out of scope (left for a separate, later policy
decision, per the issue): at(), value(), get*(), flatten(),
unflatten(), patch(), merge_patch(), begin()/end(), comparison
operators, erase(), and emplace().

Compiling the full test suite (tests/src/unit-*.cpp) with
-Wunused-result -Werror uncovered one real hit: a regression test in
unit-regression2.cpp called dump() purely to check it does not throw,
discarding the result. Fixed by explicitly casting to void, since the
call is intentionally result-less there.

Fixes #5410

* Fix discarded nodiscard results across the test suite for GCC's warn_unused_result

A plain (void) cast on a call expression suppresses the C++17 [[nodiscard]]
warning but not GCC's warning for functions annotated via the GNU
__attribute__((warn_unused_result)) form -- which is what
JSON_HEDLEY_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT expands to on GCC. Several existing tests
that call a newly-annotated function (dump(), empty()) purely to check
that it throws/does not throw, discarding the result via (void), newly
warned (and failed -Werror builds) once the annotation was broadened.
Route those discards through a small ignore_return_value() helper
instead, which actually consumes the value and suppresses the warning
on both attribute forms.

* Use utils::ignore_return_value() for the issue #1445 dump() discard too

Addresses review feedback from @gregmarr on PR #5477: this call site was
still using the older "capture in a variable, then (void) it" pattern
from before this PR introduced utils::ignore_return_value(), instead of
the helper now used at every other discarded-nodiscard-result call site
this PR touches.
