Niels Lohmann 606c1e710b Validate non-ASCII strings with SSSE3 on every x86-64 CPU that has it
The vector UTF-8 check of json_view needed SSSE3 at compile time
(JSON_VIEW_USE_SSSE3 with -mssse3), so default x86-64 builds validated
non-ASCII text one sequence at a time. The check is now compiled for
SSSE3 with a function attribute (GCC 4.9 and later, Clang; MSVC compiles
the intrinsics anyway) and used where CPUID reports SSSE3. The answer is
kept in an atomic that is initialized at compile time, so neither a
guard nor a global constructor is needed. The definitions do not depend
on compiler flags, so there is no ODR issue. JSON_VIEW_USE_SSSE3 now only
skips the CPU check.

On x86-64 Linux (Haswell), twitter.json parses 23% faster with Clang 18
and 25-34% faster with GCC 13, now ahead of yyjson.

Also always inline read_eight_bytes() and parse_eight_digits(): GCC
called both in the number loops of the lexer and of json_view (52 call
sites), which cost about 10% on citm_catalog.json at -O2.

Document that reusing a document with read() avoids the page faults of
a fresh node index (about 40% of a 55 MB parse on x86-64 Linux).
