destroy() used to flatten a nested array/object into a heap-allocated std::vector to avoid recursing per nesting level. That vector could itself throw bad_alloc under memory pressure, and since it now used the basic_json's own allocator (#4842), a failing allocator supplied by the caller made this more likely, not less. An exception thrown from inside ~basic_json(), which is noexcept, terminates the program (#5135). Replace the vector-based stack with a pointer-reversal walk that visits the tree without recursing per level and without allocating anything: cur is the array/object currently being emptied, prev is its parent (or null at the top). A parent's last child slot doubles as storage for that parent's own parent link while we are below it, so no extra memory is needed. A child is only ever removed once it is a scalar or an empty array/object, which neither allocates nor recurses more than one level deep. take() moves m_data between these locals directly, bypassing set_parents()/assert_invariant() (the former is O(#children) per call under JSON_DIAGNOSTICS, which would make the walk quadratic otherwise). This also removes the std::vector<basic_json, allocator_type> stack added by #4842, so the extra allocations it introduced disappear along with it.
