Niels Lohmann aad5fa9a29 Address review findings on the binary writer output sinks
- binary_reserve_hint(): the 4-bytes-per-element estimate over-reserved by up
  to 4x for arrays of small scalars (CBOR encodes 0..23 in one byte), and the
  returned vector kept that capacity. Make the hint a strict lower bound on the
  encoded size instead, which also removes the 1 MiB clamp whose branch no test
  could reach (the largest container in the suite has 65793 elements).

- Guard the -Wduplicated-branches pragma with __GNUC__ >= 7. The warning does
  not exist before GCC 7, so naming it made GCC 4.8/4.9/5/6 - which the CI
  matrix still builds - warn under -Wpragmas on every including translation
  unit, breaking downstream -Werror builds.

- Constrain the adapter constructor of binary_writer with the enable_if its
  documentation already claimed, so a writer over some other sink type is no
  longer advertised as constructible from an output adapter.

- Let output_vector_adapter wrap output_vector_sink rather than duplicating the
  append logic, so the type-erased and templated paths share one implementation.

- Collapse the three copies of the memcpy/byte_swap/memcpy dance into a single
  byte_swap_buffer() helper, and add the MSVC _byteswap_* intrinsics so MSVC no
  longer falls back to the scalar shuffle this change exists to eliminate.

- Add a vector_writer() helper for the five vector-returning to_* overloads
  instead of spelling out the writer type at each call site, and drop a dead
  default member initializer on output_adapter_sink.

- New tests: the vector sink and the adapter sink must produce identical bytes
  for every format (the two to_* overloads no longer delegate to each other and
  could otherwise drift), and binary_reserve_hint() must never exceed the size
  actually written.
