Michiel van SlobbeandMichiel van Slobbe 5ecb704f6b Speedup; check for the expected separator before the lexer's token switch (#5592)
* Check for the expected separator before the lexer's token switch

After a key the parser expects ':', after a value usually ','. Test for
that character first instead of going through scan()'s switch, which
compiles to an indirect jump. Any other character takes the old path,
so tokens and error messages are unchanged.

Parsing 6.3% faster with GCC 15.2 and 2.7% with Clang 22.1 (geomean of
the ParseString, ParseFile and ParseIndented benchmarks).

* fix: address comments

Signed-off-by: Michiel van Slobbe <michiel.van.slobbe@gmail.com>

* Fix clang-tidy bugprone-signed-char-misuse in scan_expecting

Convert the expected separator through unsigned char before storing it as
char_int_type. The generated code is unchanged.

* Use raw string literals in the separator comment tests
