Niels LohmannandClaude Opus 4.8 84939c11be Add a contiguous fast path for scanning numbers
scan_number() reads a number one character at a time through the input
adapter (get()) and appends each byte to token_buffer (add()) before
converting. For contiguous input, the per-character get()/add() overhead
dominates: it is roughly two thirds of the time spent on number-heavy
parsing, far more than the value conversion itself.

Add scan_number_bulk_contiguous(), which parses the whole number token
straight from the input buffer: it validates and classifies the extent
with the same grammar as scan_number()'s state machine, materializes
token_buffer in one copy (substituting the locale decimal point exactly as
scan_number() does), advances the adapter, and reuses the shared
convert_number() tail. On anything it does not recognize as a well-formed
number it makes no state change and returns token_type::uninitialized, so
the caller falls back to scan_number(), which then produces the exact
diagnostic. Errors and their positions are therefore unchanged.

The conversion tail is factored out of scan_number() into convert_number()
so both scanners share it; the fast path is selected by tag dispatch on the
existing bulk_scan capability, so streaming/wide/user adapters are
unaffected.

Measured on pointer input, g++ 13 -O3:
  - integers: parse +65%, accept +98%
  - floats:   parse +39%, accept +70%

Verified: 2,000,000 randomized number documents (including overflow-range
integers, long digit strings and %.17g doubles) parse identically via the
contiguous path and the streaming byte path, matching value, type and
round-trip text; the locale suite and existing parser/lexer/conversions/
deserialization tests pass; a new "lexer number fast path" test checks
contiguous-vs-streaming parity, token classification, and that malformed
numbers are rejected identically. Pure C++11, no intrinsics.
