Niels Lohmann 6197341a21 Clean up non-code files (#5801)
* Clean up README, contribution guide, and repository metadata

- REUSE.toml: fix the Hedley path and SPDX id (CC0-1.0), mark the docset
  icons as the public-domain JSON logo
- CITATION.cff: v3.12.0 was released on 2025-04-11
- FILES.md: list all workflows, describe the Meson option defaults
- README: ctest -LE, table of contents, typos, stale Android/MinGW advice,
  moved links, merge duplicate Thanks entries, list the analysis tools
  used in CI
- CONTRIBUTING: iterative parser, json_literals.hpp is generated, links
- .gitignore: backups and release outputs; .gitattributes: mark
  generated files
- labeler: label other build systems and .github documentation
- MODULE.bazel: add the module version

* Clean up CI, CMake, Makefile, and Bazel files

- CMakeLists.txt: avoid VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL, which CMake < 3.7 lacks
- ci.cmake: test JSON_DisableTupleReferenceConversion in ci_cmake_flags,
  remove unused variables and unreachable per-compiler targets, look up
  Clang tools consistently, forward CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to ci_module_cpp20,
  format json_literals.hpp and remove backups in ci_test_amalgamation
- BUILD.bazel: add json_literals.hpp to the single-header target
- workflows: format json_literals.hpp before copying it, drop the obsolete
  natvis --version plumbing, name natvis and macro_builder in failure
  messages, drop the duplicate amalgamation job, install Valgrind only
  where needed, republish docs on version bumps, fix stale names
- Makefile: complete .PHONY and help, check-amalgamation always restores
  the checked-in files, natvis uses its own venv, macro_builder_check
  installs astyle, clean removes the fuzzer binaries
- remove tools/amalgamate/config_json_view.json (json_view.hpp is not on
  develop yet)

* Fix inaccuracies in the documentation

- version history: json_base_class_t (3.11.3), JSON_HAS_CPP_11 (3.10.0),
  JSON_HAS_RANGES exclusions, define-type macros, ABI tags
- releases: 3.12.0 raised the minimum CMake version
- from_*: the (ptr, len) overloads are deleted, not removed, in 4.0.0
- contains/count/find: document the deleted integral overloads
- add JSON_HAS_RANGE_VIEW_CONVERSION and list the JSON_HAS_* macros in
  the macro overview
- mention BON8 and error_handler where binary formats are listed
- broken links, outdated URLs, warning count, Hunter v0.26.12
- copy_markdown_source hook: expand snippets in the Markdown copies

* Pass /EHsc to the Windows C++20 module build

ci_module_cpp20 now forwards CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to the module build. The
Windows workflow sets CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, which replaces CMake's MSVC
defaults including /EHsc, so <chrono> failed with C4530 under /WX.

# Macros
Some aspects of the library can be configured by defining preprocessor macros **before** including the `json.hpp`
header. See also the [macro overview page](../../features/macros.md).
## Runtime assertions
- [**JSON_ASSERT(x)**](json_assert.md) - control behavior of runtime assertions
## Exceptions
- [**JSON_CATCH_USER(exception)**<br>**JSON_THROW_USER(exception)**<br>**JSON_TRY_USER**](json_throw_user.md) - control exceptions
- [**JSON_DIAGNOSTICS**](json_diagnostics.md) - control extended diagnostics
- [**JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS**](json_diagnostic_positions.md) - access positions of elements
- [**JSON_NOEXCEPTION**](json_noexception.md) - switch off exceptions
## Parsing
- [**JSON_PRECISE_STREAM_POSITION**](json_precise_stream_position.md) - opt in to leaving an input stream positioned
right after a parsed number
- [**JSON_STRICT_BINARY_UTF8**](json_strict_binary_utf8.md) - opt in to checking strings for valid UTF-8 in the CBOR,
UBJSON, BJData, and BSON writers
- [**JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING**](json_strict_nul_handling.md) - opt in to rejecting a NUL byte in the input instead of
treating it as end of input

- [**JSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS**](json_use_global_udls.md) - place user-defined string literals (UDLs) into the global namespace
- [**JSON_USE_SIMDUTF**](json_use_simdutf.md) - use the simdutf library to accelerate UTF-8 validation
## Library version
