* Read a std::u8string from a JSON string and store it as one in every configuration
In C++20, json(std::u8string) was stored as a JSON string only when
std::filesystem::path support was available (the to_json overload sat
inside the JSON_HAS_FILESYSTEM guard), and there was no matching
from_json, so get<std::u8string>() threw type_error.302 ("type must be
array, but is string"). Without std::filesystem, the same expression
still produced an array of code units (the 3.12.0 behavior).
Move the to_json overload out of the filesystem guard so that a
std::u8string is a string in every configuration, build the value
directly from the code units (this also works for a custom string_t
such as the tests' alt_string), and add a from_json overload that reads
a JSON string. The array of numbers written by 3.12.0 is still accepted;
other types throw type_error.302 ("type must be string or array").
std::u8string_view and char8_t arrays are unchanged.
The tests now run in C++20/23 (the file mentions JSON_HAS_CPP_20/23),
also without std::filesystem (test-conversions2_no_filesystem), and with
ordered_json and a custom string type. The new behavior is documented.

* Fill the std::u8string with resize and indexing instead of push_back
The push_back loop is not vectorized: reading a 1 kB string took about
2.2 us against 0.39 us with resize and direct element access (clang -O2).

Unreleased
These changes are part of the develop branch, but not of a release yet.
- Converting an rvalue container to JSON (
json j = std::move(vec);,json j = std::map<std::string, std::string>{...};) now moves the elements instead of copying them (e.g.,std::vector<std::string>with 100,000 strings: 4.7 ms to 2.3 ms). Two consequences: the source container is left in a valid but unspecified (moved-from) state, and if an exception is thrown during the conversion, the source may be partially moved-from, so the strong exception guarantee no longer holds for the source of an rvalue conversion (the JSON value itself is unaffected). Lvalues andconstobjects are still copied. Seebasic_json. - In C++20 (library support for
char8_t,__cpp_lib_char8_t), a#!cpp std::u8stringis a JSON string:json j = std::u8string(u8"abc");stores"abc", and#!cpp j.get<std::u8string>()reads it back. Version 3.12.0 stored a#!cpp std::u8stringas an array of code units ([97,98,99]); on the 3.13.0 development branch it was already stored as a string ifstd::filesystemis available, but could not be read back.
